Is it my imagination or are the flowers smelling a little bit sweeter, the breeze a little cooler, everybody a little bit nicer? At the risk of sounding corny, I really do think it is morning in America. I so appreciate every one of you. Especially now a group like PDH that maintains connections after the elections are pau is especially valuable as we build our community. Mahalo Bart, Rachel, and everybody out there who did what they could! What a beautiful day!
