Very apologetic here on my part for the brief intermission in posting. In SF now, settling in to a 3 month stay and will be back to posts very soon.

An Opening at Lyndsay McCandless Contemporary

The monster storm that was supposed to come yesterday, the same storm that threatened to have me trek on snow shoes to the end of the road to an awaiting cab in order to get to last night's opening, was mostly mess...bit of freezing rain, hour of snow and not much more. Whee! The opening was great, well attended and most importantly, the GNH message was soundly received.

This talk was a brief one, Kelzang and I presenting together. Thursday night though we have an informal discussion at the Teton County Library with no time restraint. Several people from the opening are planning on being there and I am eager to see how the discussion goes.
We in the west have much to learn from the example and vocabulary of this small Himalayan country that as yet is still deeply connected to its indigenous roots and has not been affected by all that has brought us to this critical juncture in our own history.
Addresses for Lyndsay McCandless Cotemporary and Teton County Library are:

Lauren giving Meme a piggy back ride ( one act in the sensational family talent show ) and...



a red Ferrari.

IT WAS ...a most merry christmas and, last night, a zany new year's eve! Now the snow flies and various family members may or may not fly as well. The two day snow storm with hefty predictions for accumulation ( again!) has just started. Lauren and Tom had early flights and very possibly made it out of Jackson.
All others are leaving mid day.....or not!
I have an opening of images from the GNH book tomorrow night .... or not!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. EAT YOUR BLACK-EYED PEAS! Or uvas ( grapes)! I WISH YOU MANY SMILES, GREAT LAUGHTER AND LOTS OF LOVE IN THE NEW YEAR.
