My 2010 series of Chinese Medicine classes at the Zen Shiatsu Chicago school in Evanston will start on January 10 and run through November, 2010.

I recently joined Cedar Valley Sustainable. Building health, as opposed to treating disease, is regarded as superior medicine by the Chinese.

Quinn gave me this beautiful Hallmark card. The card says:

"Wishing you the gentle
joys of Thanksgiving,
the quiet beauty of the season,
and the deep warmth of those
closest to your heart."

I would like to extend these sentiments to all of you.
