Quite a guy, that fella. The first time I saw the elk antler archway in the Jackson Hole square, I thought I'd found paradise. I was just a kid and that place just knocked me out. We spent a while there, I made some local friends who took me to some fine fishing holes, full of fat trout. I've been back a few times, but not in a long time. I'm sure the town has really changed, but that area is really something special. Timeless. Yeah, he must be getting up there in age. Quite a guy, that fella.

Was just across the street at Jackson Hole Coffee Roasters the other day. He must be getting real old by now. Gerry Spence still has his law office on the square in Jackson, Wyo.

I never thought of him as God, but he could sand and paint your house while you sat desckside. Not that he would. What ever happened to Gerry Spence, anyway? I used to wish the trouble I managed to stir up would someday rise to the level of meriting his taking my case.

People insist on being stupid and uninformed. I'm feeling cynical about it today because I foolishly watched the Sunday morning news shows. Why does a certain sector in this nation right now insist on believing that access to health care will make the baby Jesus cry? What happened in Guatemala was truly tragic. In 1996 I worked in community mental health program in Chicago. There was a program working with victims of torture -- therapy, employment assitance and help navigating the US immigration beauracracy. Most of their slinets at that time were Guatemalan or Bosnian. I knew one of the guys from Guatamala. He was very conflicted about living in the US, given that he was tortured with US funds, etc. but had escaped here around 89 - 90 and lacked the werewithal to go home again. What strange relationships we create in this country. We don’t deserve Cronkite, anymore. People insist on being stupid and uninformed.
