Poem by a Friend from Hawaii.
Light and Love
To me all holidays
are alike, because
they merge and mean
that what is good
to do on any day
is just more likely
to get done,
such as saying
“I love you!”
to one I might not
otherwise get
around to telling.
It’s lizard season. Driving down the Rough and Ready Highway, the air is hot and dry, a tangible manifestation of the California drought. But here, everything is alive. The Woolman Semester School sits on 237 acres in historic gold country, but more immediately, it’s my favorite place in the world.

In accounting, we perform reconciliations between two representations of the same thing. For instance, the cash on our books and the cash in our account as the bank reports it. We expect to find differences, and our task is identify them, determine what action, if any, we need to take on our books, and occasionally tell the bank what they have missed.
