01.06.10: That's a Kool (Aid) Way to Start

I had a coffee with a gentleman today who drank from the same cooler of Kool-Aid as I have. He gets it. He's committed to public education; to public service; to civic engagement; to making a difference in the community; and working across differences. A great dialogue was had - even at a first meeting - because common ground and vernacular were obvious. And infectious. It was a nice way to kick off the New Year. Cheers.
