Thank you. This is a time of reflection for me. I know that I will not be done with this work tomorrow or on Monday. It is my Life Work, the title of a lovely short book by Donald Hall, the former poet laureate of the United States who lives in New Hampshire. Nevertheless, as I enter this new phase, there is much to contemplate. Most of all I am grateful to all of you and that we have this one wild and precious life to live.
