Roy and Pennie,

Well, you are right on code, Roy. In 2004 you said that by 2008 the new civic cycle would be in full swing. The elections confirmed that. It was the under-30's who elected Obama, the Dream. A Moses for America. The votes-tally for those of us over 50 was for McCain, and even stronger for those over 60. Guess we old timers will have to get onboard now:)

Dennis and I look forward to a meal with you two in December.

Love
Jan

The Pendulum just swooshed by and the entire world heard it …

Wow, it is amazing how insightful the “Pendulum” predictions have become.
You have been telling us a shift is upon us and last night we heard the
Pendulum swoosh past the tipping point and thrust the nation into the Civic
Cycle at its shiniest.  I certainly hope you will be able to write on this
in the Memo … or perhaps you would be willing to write a SPECIAL BONUS
MEMO to address this huge shift that you have told us about.
