    Hi Tim, Like you I found David a week or so ago and have been mesmerized by the honesty, intensity, and practicality of his posts…in fact I’ve got a comment on one of his posts, awaiting moderation to see if a bunch of us can go with him to Spain to do the “El Camino de Santiago” as touched on by the film The Way…I’m sure we can count you in as well…

    Be encouraged!
