Hello everybody,

I was doing so many things at the same time that I accidentally neglected to send this post. So here it is. Just a lot of this and that. And I remembered the third big event for 2025. My new book will be published. Feels like a miracle.

Below is a shot of Betsy Lerner’s new book. And a harried shot of me racing toward my deadline, heating coffee and plowing away. Taken in my kitchen by my great friend the Artist Steven Sebring.

Sending good wishes to all and prayers for all who are suffering in our troubled world. Please take care of yourselves. Today I have good work to do and am feeling optimistic.
