Dear friends & family,
I write to you from a crowded fastfood restaurant (that happens to have wifi) in West Yellowstone. Two men speaking Chinese have asked to sit at my table to eat their breakfast; this feels so unAmerican and really very civilized.
Click here for the July CATALYST. (Isn't that an amazing cover?!) I think we outdid ourselves this month. Pick up a hard copy at your favorite location, too.
And see below for this week's events, which I will be sorry to miss. Have a good week!
