FLYING
NONE of this was on
my radar... back in 1969
in Columbus... or 1973
in Lincoln... or 1980 in
Dallas.
ANYWAY, 2020.
The world feels upside
down + in a tailspin.
And we humbly plant
a plot in our idealistic
world of 29 Pieces.
Here we are,
ONE year into a 3-
year plan for the legacy
initiative. It goes well.
