A Birth and a Return and Picasso in November






















Every Saturday morning at 7 a.m., I meet with friends for breakfast at a nearby restaurant. Today there was especially good news from three of the youngest. One announced the birth of his first child, a son. The other talked about a celebration the night before of the return of one of his friends from Afghanistan. Another spoke of his teenaged son's long-anticipated visit to the Picasso exhibit in Seattle. There was much talk of love and hope and gratitude from these young men in the midst of the many sorrows of our times.

Gotta see Picasso if you live in the Pacific Northwest!

What a wonderful, uplifting gathering. It would be amazing to see a Picasso exhibit. I hope you get to go.
