If you are off on this beautiful Columbus Day

It is a gorgeous fall day in Northern New England on this Columbus Day. If it is as nice where you are and you happen to be off work then you will want to get outside. But when you come in watch this. It is a video of a conference happening today. It is being produced by an organization called No Labels and in a news landscape that gets a bit more depressing every day it offers a glimmer of hope for bipartisanship in the 2016 election cycle. 

The conference, which is streaming live on the Web from Manchester, NH features participants across the political spectrum from Bernie Sanders to Donald Trump (eight presidential candidates in all) The theme is non partisan progress and a conference focused on cooperation and compromise is like a breath of fresh autumn air. Take a look and let me know what you think.
