It's Mom---

I want to get my two cents worth on this page---am sitting in Dad's study at 6pm, and I must say that its new look is very warming and cheerfull on a cold winter evening! Good work, Ken!

We were treated to two inspirational programs yesterday---the first a piano presentation of Chopin by a retired CU professor, Larry Graham. So varied, nuanced, wistful---an overflowing audience at the Library---all spellbound. Then an energetic woman speaking to the UN crowd on sustainable energy---how Colorado stacks up (very well, as we have a ton of wind power ready to use when coal is phased out, and she's working toward getting that done). She's heading to Arkansas and Missouri with her message, and I wouldn't want to be standing in her way! I asked her about what might happen here when our governor, Bill Ritter, retires, as he has announced he will do, but she said it's all the people of the state who want it so strongly, and a change of party, even, will probably not make a difference. Hope she is right.

Glad to hear that Sarah is back on her feet, and that the Aussie girls are doing their school thing. And Julie, your eyes have never looked so blue!
