Hey, Kathy came over about a week after the birthday party memorial for her son. Said she really wanted to thank me for getting her that reading from you. She says, "You know I'm pretty skeptical about these kinds of things, but you didn't know that about the grandbaby on the way when you had her do that reading, did you?"

I was like, "No, and then when I saw Charlie..." And then she and Bob were both grinning and Kathy says they found out the day after the original memorial for Doug, that the new grandbaby on the way (Doug's nephew), would be a boy. And Kathy said she felt that, that it was Doug coming right back.

And then she and Bob both said, right on top of each other, "When he was born, he looked just like Doug."

So it was so cool for them to get this confirmation from you, from back then in winter, when neither you nor I knew a thing about Charlie coming along. I'm glad I waited until I saw her in person to give her the reading too, so they could have it unfold and feel it themselves before it seeing that you saw it with another kind of seeing. I think it's very nice this way for them.

I went out there a couple of nights later, straight from the meeting where the school board approved the bond issue for the fall ballot. Kathy's sister-in-law, Lisa, who has my same birthday, was there. Pluto is trining our Sun. At a table of 8, we whipped everyone in dominoes. Lisa was first, I was second. She scored on every turn. I scored on all but two.

We have 80 students in dance classes now! (Not Lisa and me; Stacy and me.) I have to tell you this Sun-Pluto trine is a definite power boost. Last night there was another school board meeting to certify the ballot question. We had heard there might be a last-ditch effort by some few folks with a certain amount of influence, to divert and confuse the efforts with a "new alternative" after some 18 months of public meetings and planning when they could have brought it up. So we had standing room only at that meeting. The three folks with the monkey wrench and a whole bunch of other folks with a whole bunch to say about how the time is now to march forward and get the schools fixed up and suitable for our kids. It was invigorating and great.

I could get used to this Pluto power. Gonna miss him when he moves on.
