Tom Montag at The Middlewesterner has posted a detailed and gracious review of chaplainbook.Thanks for the kind words, Tom, and for paying the poems such close attention.

It's been a year since our friend Dick died. Last night a riotous plenty of family and friends gathered at the farm for food, conversation, memory, and dancing under the full moon. It was a good way to celebrate him, though a little bittersweet.

Blogging may be light this week, as I prepare for the Progressive Faith Blog Con. I'm excited about it, though I have occasional attacks of butterflies. Then next week, right after the blog con, I'll head to Elat Chayyim to begin the Davvenen' Leadership Training Institute. (Excited, and a little butterflied, about that too...)
