Hey Kate, where did you want me to post the post release info?  I have KC's's rules and regs right in front of me--shhew, Hardcore Zen.  I'd rather lean a bit more tibetan/mahayana/aspiering vajrayana. Our place would provide focus, but less ridgitity.  I know KC pretty well, I am unsure if he remebers me though--lots of inmates etc.

If you can call me 2386-490-6059
