THE STRIKE ZONE FAMILY
We received best wishes from these girls; rather than thank individually, we’re running the pyramid.

CONNECTIVITY
Read a lot about synergy and connectivity. Those people may be on to something. Last night, roasted a chicken, with mashed potatos and country gravy – and went around all day like a hillbilly humming a few bars from Mary Ann, an R&B number by banjo artists Flatt and Scruggs. Country gravy will do it every time.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL
Made Washington lists as a reporter and State Department official, but was recently invited to another, special ceremony: the inauguration of Principal Chief Jim Gray, assistant principal chief John D. Red Eagle, and the swearing-in of the Osage Nation Congress and Minerals Council. Invitations restricted to voting members of the Osage Indian Nation. Also vote in the Choctaw Nation. (long story)
