Nice work, Dan!

People: Believe in Dan's powers.

It just so happens that when Dan revealed to me what my animal spirit was during a semi-private, impromptu ani-mystic session which occurred on a recent visit to New York, I was reading the new Tim Flannery book, Chasing Kangaroos. Even HAD the book on me at the time. I withdrew the book from my suitcase and presented it to the group. We all felt an odd chill and then promptly left Dan at home and went out to dinner, agreeing he was a little too weird for us.

Dearest 'Chelley:

I will remind you that the naive commoner once labeled Newton as "weird," Einstein as "obtuse," and Ronnie James Dio as "elf-ish." Contemporary shamanic folk are used to this unfair treatment, but we, too, press on.

May I remind present company of our "shaman's" penchant for picking all of the "yukky" vegetables from his sweet and sour chicken circa 1989. While I wouldn't call this "weird", "obtuse" or "elfish", I would say that it is the hallmark of a shaman of the most crispy deep-fried variety.
