Hope you are well, my friend.
Hopefully the planning for your course in Thailand is going splendidly--how is that going by the way?
All is moving along quickly up in the twin cities as Shelley (fiancee in the picture...wasn't at the course) and I move back and re-establish relationships/establish relationships. I would love it if you would keep me posted as to the work your gearing for this upcoming year...particularly any preparatory training. I think you last sent something about a 10 day thing out east for PDC/permaculture instructors. I'll have to check back to the email inbox for that but I'm very interested.
Be well this winter,
peace,
Joseph
