Some neat things have happened in the lives of my friends and family, while I've been gallivanting around.
- My lawyer friend Kelly got pissed off at what she thought was a spurious lawsuit and
filed a press release when the case was finally dismissed (before it went to trial but after a jury had been empanelled). It hit the AP wire. Way to go Kelly!
- My uncle just had his
lay ordination ceremony at the Vimala Sangha in Marin.
- My friend Stepahie who I stayed with in New Hampshire a few nights ago is going to be the
new library director in Stowe Vermont, I'm happy for her and happy to have her and
her family back in Vermont
I got home from New Hampshire this afternoon to see the DHL guy just pulling in to my driveway. He had a package for me, from Kyrgyzstan! A pal I know from MetaFilter works in Kyrgyzstan. I asked him to send me some stuff a few months back. Today it arrived. The package had a few postcards, a letter, a satchel made from some old rugs and a neat felt hat. The hat and the bag smell amazing, like woodsmoke and trees from other places. I'll put up a photo at some point, but my camera is out of batteries until I replace the charger that went missing from my bag in Puerto Rico. I did manage to take
a few photos in New Hampshire with my old crappy camera. I'm back from the road and have no more travelling work for several months, just weddings and visiting and whatever comes to pass. I already have the fidgets but I think they'll smooth out over time.
