Elliott Brack

I went to Elliot Brack's funeral yesterday. He was a friend. And he was quite a character. He was one of the first people I met outside of work when I moved to Georgia. He was sort of a variation of the main character of Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full". I used to say that Elliott and I had a 50-50 relationship. He told me what to do and I did it. His 50% was telling me. My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of the community. It goes on and on. There were 260 people attending his funeral. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

It is Easter (again)! In our house we celebrated Chinese New Year earlier this year as well as the Western AND Orthodox Easter. I have been busy with neighborhood association duties and trying to get ahead of the house work. I have decided to plant corn on the farm in NY this year. It is a different path than I have previously taken with the farm in NY. I really like the property. It is a shame NY government is toxic to conservatives and "upstaters". We went and saw the Blue Man Group last night. I have always been a fan, but had never saw a show. It was fun. I (we) have quite a bit of travel lined up over the next month. In the plans, I counted 6 counties and 3 US states.
