With a conference to attend, I braved getting myself on the Metro-North to the Big Apple (where people live Applely-Ever-After in their own a-maze-sing ways in the subways--shout out to my new wheelchair-bound friend who needs good housing for the winter. Please comment here on how we can work together this awesome fellow whose got spinal stenosis and sang to me and others the John Denver song one friend in their 20s didn't recall ever hearing, '"Sunshine on my shoulder, makes me happy..."

 The stormy day did not keep hundreds of kind folks from gathering on the hillsides of the Fay farm in Goshen CT, not far from Tyler Lake,  to take part in the a special naming ceremony for a male white buffalo calf born on June 16th, 2012.
