Dear J-petro: Thank you for YourFriendship. My eight-year-old-peace-activist son Axil's quest for World Peace Before 2021 is gaining momentum! I'm so proud of him. Please embrace him AND his song "World Peace Before 2021" which he sings beautifully. His performance can be seen on MySpace, his webpage www. worldpeacebefore2021. com and/or YouTube (by searching his name Axil Kollist.) It is my intention to post a new video of him singing his song every few months so people can watch his talent grow as impressively as the momentum for his quest! I'm sharing two photos with you. The first is of my son distributing his free world peace bumperstickers and the second photo is of him singing his song “World Peace Before 2021” at Maui's Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Day Festivities in January 08. Best regards, Axil Kollist’s mom

Euterpe





Aug 16 2007 1:03 PM

hey! how's everything going? i haven't been contra dancing in waaay too long! it's not okay, i need to contra! well, i did go to one around here but it wasn't a real contra... it was held outdoors at a lighthouse and was more like a party with everyone jumping around like crazy because they didn't know how to do any of the steps. they did a bunch of circle dances and other simple stuff with no variety so it was rather boring.

figured you'd understand my pain, lol.

Hey Jeff!

Thanks for the note - I'm still alive and doing well, recovering from a relative of the flu. The semester ends in 4 weeks - woohoo! We never got pictures taken of us for the May Chesterfield dance, I'm sorry...it's been too crazy. Take care and see you soon.
