Last Caveman Speaking Appearance in California

"No, Dorothy, we're not going to Kansas...We're headed to Iowa."

I've been invited to share a few words at my church tomorrow.  My good friend, Pat Byrne, a retired federal firefighter who became a deacon last year, is throwing one last Mulligan going away party.  This event is bitter-sweet, like saying good-bye to your child before he or she goes off to college or enters military service.  You know there will be exciting days ahead, but you also know there will be an empty seat at the dinner table.

It's time for my family and me to depart.  I will be sharing my bitter-sweet emotions one last time in front of a crowd of people I consider part of my own family.  Three days later, my home will close escrow and it will be time to leave California.  We will exit stage right and travel 1,800 miles to enter the next chapter of our lives.  There will be a one week intermission between acts, a time for my family to savor God's creation in Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Nebraska before making our new home in Iowa.  I've been warned to take a safer southern route, however, unless there's a blizzard, my family wants to travel the more difficult road-- does this remind you of someone you know?

The Cyber-bistro will remain open during my one week blog vacation and daily stories will automatically appear at 8:08AM, Pacific time.  Kelly Combs will be my special guest host on cyber-guest Friday.

My last caveman speaking appearance in California is open to the general public.  It takes place at the social center at the corner of 6th and Main in Ramona, across the street from the church.  I prefer to speak outside the walls of the church, a tradition started 2,000 years ago by the Son of a Jewish carpenter.  His best work was done in neutral settings like the social center in Ramona.  If you decide to stop by, please say hello to my family and friends.  I hope you can make it to the party.

Urgent request from a 7-year-old writer and world changer.  Please read her request:

My mommy and daddy call me the "young apprentice."  I'm seven years old and I'm working on my first manuscript.  I also create websites.  I want to win a scholarship so I can go to a special school and learn how to develop my special gifts.  If I went to a public school, my teachers wouldn't know what to do with me because they tell me I have some signs of autism.   I made a video to ask you to vote for me so I can get a scholarship.  Please watch my video and vote for me.  My mommy helped me make the video.  It's the one that has a black screen at the beginning.  I need you to vote for me every day until the contest ends on March 7.  I also need you to tell your friends to watch my video and vote every day, too.  I'm going to come to Mike's going away party at his church.  He told me if I come, I can stand in front of all his friends and tell them more about my dream to change the world.  Thanks for helping me change the world.  Here's a link to my video.
