Cool Friends and Serious Agendas

My fiance has the coolest friends. Last night we had dinner with a veterinarian and his wife from New Zealand. I took an instant liking to them last year when they were in town.

He was a professor at the university here for many years, then traveled all over the world for Heifer International - one of my favorite groups. Then settled back in their native New Zealand. They're still regularly crossing continents to visit friends and family and such.

We had a good discussion about health care. They like their system in New Zealand and some other countries as well.

As you know, ours isn't working.

We all agreed that we'd like to see the president and others get a sensible plan moving. But the New Zealand Vet likened it to having a baby elephant.

It takes two years and the end part is really messy.
