		<description>Now that things are a little more settled for me, Jack, I think I&#039;m probably not as thin-skinned as I was when I gave up. I would much rather hear criticism than nothing. As for being lazy about checking in here: I went months at a time without looking in on the place, and I had no expectation that other people would be any more ambitious about it.</description>

		<description>Like Keifus, I had gotten lazy about watching for you.  Noticed you in the fray today and was glad to see you.  I&#039;ll try to refrain from those negative comments.</description>

		<description>Joe, thanks. I&#039;ve been reading you guys a lot lately, depressing though it has been.

Hey, Keifus. I&#039;m not sure what insecure has to do with it, but in any event you wouldn&#039;t have been able to reach me because I&#039;ve been avoiding the btc email accounts. 

I expect you&#039;re right about the conciliator; one gets the impression he likes to think of himself as the adult in the room.

Monsieur, I will be in touch.</description>

		<description>Aw-reet! Good to see you back in the saddle &amp; re-connected to what passes for a world.

Most who expected that a black person would/could be elected President assumed it would be a Colin Powell type: moderate, centrist, &amp; the other cliches, probably a Republican w/ a long career of military &amp;/or public service. 

The big difference is that he&#039;s a Democrat, mostly as a result of the Bush Admin., not that Grumpy &amp; Ex-Alaska Gov. Palin helped themselves much. 

At this stage, I doubt if anyone much to the Prez&#039;s left could get the Democratic nomination. Who was Obama&#039;s competition for the nomination again?

P.S.: Whip me an e-mail. I have a spare desk sort of thing you might want, if it can be transported.

P.P.S.: Still on Hawai&#039;i time?</description>
