Pleasant young woman. Usually some time to chat. Receives for Mental Health Section. Does it handily. And beautifully. Represents a workforce truly interested in the wellbeing of patients, their visiting loved ones and the process of recovery or stabilization. I leave the Hospital to affirm and uplift others in simple and hands-on ways. Some of it will happen in my busking on city streets. Some of it urges personal change. On leaving the last time I met a husband named Drago, a Croat. Our conversation including matters of HIS FAITH were, rich. We departed as friends. I gave him my busking information card (name, phone, email, website link).

For example one guy hauls in halibut at 110 pounds. Couple of good meals for 15 families, He says. Fascinating to watch successive episodes.
