So glad to hear from you.  It is hard to sell a house these days. There is
so much new housing being built in Portland; tall towers of condos.  When
you come and visit I will take you to the Great Vow Monastery in Portland.
A "great turning" in health care should happen.  Distancing yourself from
your coworkers' whining is probably a good idea.  Did you go to the Land
of the Medicine Buddha Retreat Center?  That looks like a great place with
the blue skinned Buddhas all over the place.  I am working answering
phones this weekend.

  Hi, how are you?  My cousin the recruiter is now stationed in the
Portland area. Unfortunately, they have not been able to sell their house
in Minnesota yet and have been living with his wife's uncle.  I was hoping
we could go up and visit all of you, but I don't want to come until they
are settled into their own home.  The hospital I work in is losing money,
especially labor costs.  They don't want to lay off people. I know my job
is not on the line. Well, the whole healthcare system is so dysfunctional.
I don't know anyone who is really happy with it (except the insurance
companies?).  My job is draining.  and the coworkers I spend the most time
with complain alot.  I'm trying not to get attached to their perceptions.
I went to a Labor Day weekend yoga retreat in Santa Cruz and that was
helpful.
Anyway, have a happy birthday
