This little book was almost an accident. I thought we all agreed that the Electoral College failed to do what it was designed to do. But then some very bright, well-educated and insightful friends argued for keeping it. What? Colorado is going to be voting on this issue in November. So I started looking behind the curtain . . .Went all the way back to the Magna Carta. But it’s a quick read. I tried to make it fun.

Happy John: An Advaita (non-dual) Gospel
This is the Book of John (yes THE Book of John) rendered through a contemporary, non-dual point of view. “In the beginning was the word, and the word was Joy.” Here in my dotage, I’m thinking it might be my best book.
