I'm spending the day in mediation of the Russo & Hale matter, so expect little or no blog posting. If you feel so inclined, say a little prayer for peace in our time, I'm hoping to come out of today with the whole mess behind us. ;-> Permalink to this paragraph

I've learned a lot about mediation in the last few weeks, esp talking with some people in Berkeley who do it for a living, and have come to think in terms of mediating conflict.

I expect to learn a lot today. To give some and get some, I hope. Permalink to this paragraph

Namaste y'all! Permalink to this paragraph
