PC is on the move

My friend Jaclyn, wrote me from Botswana telling me her thoughts of PC and related some things she was allready doing and promised to forward new activities she comes up with. She was visited by her boyfriend reciently and spoke to him about PC. He also saw it as a good thing and went back to Vanawatu in the South Pacific with the mentality of being more conscious about these type of actions. He wrote me a while ago and said that not only is he persuing PC more activly now but that he also shared the idea with a friend of his who lives in Austrilia. Man we are starting to span the globe. And it is inspiring to me to hear of people who hear about PC and do more then just say "well thats a nice idea." Pretty cool stuff.

PC Goes Global!

At 6:00 am yesterday, the wife and I were just struggling to get our bags out of the overhead compartments of our plane--newly landed in London. After a 6-hour flight during which we spoke rarely to other people around us, suddenly a young man about my age greeted us and made inquiries why we were visiting London. As it turns out, he is a young composer from the area, returning home after spending the holidays with his fiance's family in Kansas. Small world, right?

We exchanged some of the usual pleasantries and came to the fact that we had no permanent place to live in town. As we walked to the border agency lines, he invited us, two complete strangers in a strange land, to lunch with him and his fiance over the weekend so he could give us some pointers about living in London. We're meeting them tomorrow near our hotel.
