Hi, what a wonderful blog, full of your wonderful thoughts on the mysterious and your mysterious thoughts... (that is a compliment by the way!)
I had a blog in my political life but found it a terrifyng experience. But perhaps I was trying to be with the pack and not ahead of it.... I stopped but you have inspired me to start again.
Thanks and stay in touch

(((Ewan))) How dear to hear from you. You know, it was a crazy brit who got me going on all this. If you start up again, do let me know.
Off the Gretzky topic: You inspired me to download a few Speaking of Faith podcasts. Last Monday I went out walking and listened to Krista interviewing three different people about the various forms prayer can take. It ended with a little girl reading Mary Oliver's "wild and precious" poem. I did a little dance of joy right on the sidewalk!
So now you have to update your wild and precious blog. (Or else no sandwiches!)
I haven't listened to that one! Now I'll have to. Yeah, I realize I'm behind here. I guess I have my own case of writer's block.
