As I mentioned yesterday, I’m not into ‘luck.’  I don’t believe much in ‘fate’ either.  But I can’t explain the change in our lives since we made a commitment in summer 2007 to move to Costa Rica.  Business picked up.  Consequently we were able to afford our scouting trip.  We fell in love with CR and came back with a single, defined purpose: making our dream real.  And knowing that it was more than possible.

Pete Seeger, that is. My lovely little sister took me to a benefit concert the other night to stop the relicensing of Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant. What a fantastic show it was! Performers included Pete Seeger, Ani DiFranco, Gail Ann Dorsey, Tao Rodriguez-Seeger, and the New York City Children’s Choir.
