Your optimism is so inspiring. Thanks for that! Also, as a new member of the Portsmouth community, it was great to meet some of the wonderful people who came out for the event.

I'll see you at City Lights in San Francisco on Monday evening, November 26th. I am certain that you have many friends in the San Francisco Bay Area, but I would be honored if you and associates traveling with you would accept my invitation for dinner--between 5 and 6:30pm--time and location are your call (or mine if you choose) the evening of the event. If this invitation does not work for you, consider a time to meet while you are in the area. I met with the Northern California Marines Recruiting Officer this morning and spent ten minutes telling what I know to be truth to him including sharing Naomi Kline's Disaster Capitalism in Harpers--a revealing piece of the very powerful dark privatization agenda in which we now live. I stood tall and in this instance, I did not hear myself applauding as my heart thumped in my chest, I must, clearly, walk on stages that challenge me more. Thank you for sharing that physiological indicator.

Have you approached Book People in Austin TX? This sounds like something much of Austin would be interested in.
