Changing things up--yes, this worked. It was still generous, and sensitive Walter, but this time you pulled the curtain back further to show us the Great Oz Booster Champion you've been to many.

Thank you for that! I still feel I make better use of my listeners time reading off a script. But maybe I'll do this once a week or so. Thanks so much for the feedback!

I am just getting to know you, Walter. I appreciate your sharp mind and generously kind spirit. After realizing that you advocate for freedom from religion as well as freedom of religion, I hope that some of my more aggressive Christian friends, would follow your lead sometimes. Thank you for this candid chat. I already love your children.

Thank you Rebecca. What we see in the US right now is completely closed thinking. People won't listen to facts. I think the reason for this is that they already feel their position is "divine." We have to challenge that and the best way to challenge it is by challenging the divinity of Jesus. I've only been doing this a couple weeks and I'm already seeing results. It's kind of stunning really. Thanks for your kind words and your support!

I was born and raised in Clark County Wisconsin. By age 11 we were near Janesville and after moving to my own apartment, I thoroughly enjoyed cross country skiing. My parents took to it in their fifties and sixties. I also used a Nordic Track at home. I find it too be a rare blend of heart healthy, yet exhilarating exercise. It kept me sane during long Wisconsin winters. General Motors sent us to Fort Wayne Indiana in 1986, and I love both homes.
