The estimate of $4000 for YouTube for 1 year is rather steep - can we negotiate it to 2 years for the same amount?
Ben is nervous about trying to negotiate with Disney, so Brandon is sending the next reply

Brandon is moderator for the Yahoo groups, so he's making sure Ben's message about the book club was sent
- Also, he's adding Ben as a moderator of both groups
Reminder for Ben: post notes from regularly-scheduled calls to the Yahoo group(s)

5-minute meditation led by Meg, who has practiced this with her family after learning it in India

Brandon thinks the eco-village and the business are both too big a reach without someone focused on running them
