First, I'm really glad you've got a respite. You do a wonderful job that few people would be willing to do and you deserve that extra boost to your days.
Second, I agree with your comment about more kilt money. That must definately keep your mind on the right track.
Third, I've only ever met two Navajo folk, but they were both wonderful people with a deep sense of their past and they were wonderfully respectuful of and interested in my choice to wear a kilt, so Kudos on your accurate comparisons.
