No, Eelco please don't shut up about it. I really enjoy this stuff. I like to hear about your experiences, and this is great information. In fact, I think I will pass along much of it to my daughter, who has decided to take a look at Buddhism. I don't see her becoming a Buddhist, but it is great to ...

Oh my gosh! How cool is this?! Shez, then Pris and now you! So many gathering here with new and different perspectives, and very little bullshit...makes it fun to see what's new when I pop in Glad to see you.

This is awkward. I wanted to share this song and this sentiment. And there isn't really a place for it, or at least not that I can find. So, I will just put it out here.

Good luck with all that! (I say through the chuckles...)
