Thanks, John! Obviously, I concur. I hated to miss this year's supper... although there are many ways to pitch in that don't necessarily require physical presence the evening of. My greater concern is the give-up of casual, informal conversation with friends & neighbors, which is evaporating right before our very eyes. It makes me sad... I don't see this trend reversing. Sigh.
It is clear that we need more opportunities to affirm community in Iowa, as we become increasingly polarized on so many issues. Great post.
