Goodbye, So Long, Farewell
Wherein I host my own goodbye party as my work in the Solano County Jails comes to an end after almost 20 years. Attendees include coworkers, past and present, friends, and poets that I know and admire. The format was unusual, since I have been working from home for the past 2 years. Zoom seemed to be the obvious way to get everyone together.

    Thank you for posting this. Due to work, I was only able to catch the last portion. I have always admired you from the first Sunday School class when I heard a wonderfully incredible thought-provoking insight on the lesson. From that moment on, I knew you were someone's wisdom I wanted in my life.

    Bravo. Good writing, read with such passion , with that tinge of sadness that adds a bitter sweet taste to so many lives. Mine included. I will be ordering your book.
