These are the kinds of talks I hoped would happen thirty years ago and which the internet makes as easy as calling a friend up or watching a show online (or television which is something that was a wonder in its day.)

The secret many are sharing are that We Are  The Wonders of Our Day and World.

Best wishes to this and every graduating class of Mountaineers from the 75+ year old Housatonic Valley Regional High School or Housy.  I happened to have a nice shirt with that logo on the back as part of remembering Kaelan's passing on 6-16-09 which hopefully all can help educate others about in terms of planning for safe, sensible good times, Scout's honor and cool Kaelan remembrance kind of thing, we good on that legacy point?

"Is this his or our choice?"

Do any of us really have a clear voice?

How can we make some noise and 

Ask what's going on for all of us girls and boys?

Is it all about wearing fancy pants, 

Knowing the moves and how to 'really dance'?

 Could we disappear and reappear readily,
