I'm Baaaack-from Indian Wells and catch-up

Not much today--back from CAR a week ago today. I did not take a hiatus, just busy and pondering how to distill the CAR experience into a post or two. These were my 36th meetings (I think??). In addition, Death certificates for my mother arrived Monday -- so had busy week resuming the long post-transition process. Special thanks to a few friends who helped with letters, packing, sorting, etc.

Interesting meetings in the desert--same old, same old CAR in some respects, but there were glimmers of paradign shifts elsewhere. I'll launch into the good (I try hard to see some good in everything-sometimes very hard), the bad (that includes the bad bad and the oh-so-good bad) and the ugly (pretty much anything in the Federal arena right now).
