my work of tonight

[Ted Ernst]

Thanks Lisa, Joelle and Funda,

By the way, one point I forgot to mention on my blog (I'll have to go
back and add it), is that I had the paper and markers in the middle of
the circle before the abrupt shift in plans, and the Law and
Principles on the wall.

Near the end, someone who han't been at the previous meeting when we
had the Principles up and explained asked me about them.  I answered
that it wasn't the time to talk about them because I couldn't think of
any way to talk about them without bringing up the abrupt change in
plans, and that just didn't feel right to me.  I just wasn't up for
any sort of confrontation.

Oh well, whatever happens is the only thing that could have. :-)

peace,
ted
