legal sanity

I'm back in New York after a family trip to see my sister in Boulder, Colorado. The open space, foothills and Rockies create a spectacular backdrop there. While hiking and climbing, I spent a good deal of time trying to reconcile the immense natural beauty of this world with the enormous devastation in New Orleans and the surrounding coastal communities. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who is suffering in Hurricane Katrina's wake.
