Dear Larry So glad we are not being too radical in such matters and that it has been done before. Michael Pannwitz thinks it hasn't been used in Germany - and I reckon he would know. So, perhaps we are ahead of the Germans - whatever that may be worth. Not sure if I told you, but the Moscow time was wonderful - though it has been a bit "bumpy" since then. Whatever of the bumps, I think the relationship will hold well, which is a nice feeling. Except that the "tyranny of distance" gets in the way of it all, as always. Things feel quiet at the moment, except for the possible Jordan thing which now seems unlikely - but just when I start thinking that, things usually unravel and happen in spite of my thinking. Oh well, we shall see - that's November 9 thru 16, I think. Could be a wonderful, experience, though I think Pavel reckons he may be unable to be there (sad). If that doesn't happen, I'll be on retreat anyway. I know which I would prefer. Parish-wise, the Hall project seems about to get going physically - which is amazing. And there are First Communions, and end-of-year events and the Parish Fete and an OSI-OZ Newsletter to do and an OSonOS (December 7-8 and a Facilitators Network Conference in Adelaide (November 28-30) doing a major session with Brendan McKeague and so it goes on and on. All grist for the mill, I guess. Apart from the distance thing and all that, I'm happy enough and reasonably well, though not yet back to morning-walking or studying Russian the way I should. Hope you are well and working hard enough but not too hard. And maybe even revelling in having the house to yourselves again!! Cheers and blessings, BRIAN
