Dear Reader, Korean War veteran and retired Los Angeles school teacher John Fortier has hosted a peace vigil each Friday in Redondo Beach, CA since just before President Bush launched the Iraq War in March, 2003. In today's summary, he also discusses my Friday colonoscopy in which my doctor asked me not to do any strenuous activities afterward, and jokingly refers to himself as a "blabber mouth," which made me chuckle. "Steve-two-dogs" refers to a man who with his two dogs sometimes attends our peace vigils. John signs off as LL for "Local Legend" which is how a recent Redondo High School newspaper article referred to him. I think you'll enjoy his charming writing style.

Your doctor was right, of course. After my latest 'up periscope' adventure I came home and was trimming a tree in the back yard when Michele caught me. There were no repercussions, other than Michele, but it wasn't the smartest I've ever done. (Or the dumbest, unfortunately.)
Speaking of dumb things I've done, telling Steve-two-dogs why you were not on the corner may be a contender. He agreed that the procedure is a stroll in the park and sent his regards. Please excuse my impetuosity.
The support was good tonight. The traffic seemed maybe a little heavier than usual; the response definitely so.
I meant to take mental notes, since I didn't have writing materials handy, but trying to remember things is like catching smoke.
Grant came by for 15 - 20 minutes and that's always nice. I gave him your medical report too and he also was approving. I bet if I had told fifty passers-by about your experience they would all have approved.
See you on Wednesday.
L L and blabber mouth.
