28. My 1000th post--was gonna save it for some grand (or grandiose) statement, but... |

What the hell.....Redstone is one of the small handful of DUers I've ever exchanged PM's with; I'd written to thank him for his kind words to me about him appreciating my writing and looking forward to reading more...it had been a simple statement of supportive thoughts and wishes in the lounge to someone who was emotionally suffering, just one of many that had sent good vibes that person's way. Having read many posts from Redstone and being a big admirer of his writing, his simple words "you write well" meant more to me than he could imagine. So I dedicate this 1000th post to him and to all us progressives struggling to do our best to live up to our ideals ( I myself fall so short so often its embarrassing if not humiliating) and struggling to do what we can to get our country to live up to its ideals. And to you Tom, one of my first posts was objecting to something you'd written, but I have seen many of your posts since, and while I've disagreed on other occasions too, its quite obvious we share the same ideals too...( I'm also the same guy that was an acquaintance of the late Gary Primich who posted some info after his untimely passing). The tone of this post has me concerned for Redstone's well-being. I hope you're OK , and thanks again for your kind words many months ago. abq e streeter
