Analytically

Why is it always a challenge to write about myself analytically? Like this question in a job application: PLEASE PROVIDE A STATEMENT OF YOUR PERSONAL QUALITIES AND EXPERIENCE THAT YOU BELIEVE ARE RELEVANT TO YOUR SUITABILITY FOR THIS POST.
... I kept putting the answer off, but now I don't really have time to, as the form is due tomorrow. I feel like I am writing a term paper again.

I finally got myself and KC (my cat) into the same picture frame tonight:

Back in Beverly

and glad to be here.

Vineyard Vitality

MV was spectacular, as always. .

Martha's Vineyard keeps calling me home

Heading down to MV today for the weekend to see family, friends and the beach. Should be a welcome change from the home monotony and a good way to get my mind off wanting to be there with you all in Amherst.

We must always return to the sea....

It occurs to me that several of you might be interested in this event

Khandro Rinpoche in Boston

Mom's principle Tibetan teacher Khandro Rinpoche will return to Boston for the 9/11 anniversary, giving a talk on compassion in times of war. I'm looking forward to hearing her and would love to see some of you all there in Brookline Monday. Open to anyone, just preregister.

Home Again

With the rain gently falling outside, it's the type of weather that makes me want to sit around a warm fireplace and drink cider while munching on apple pie. That might be a little too soon for this fall weather, but it's definitely bringing those "ideal" sensations to mind.

It's been welcome to just take things easy -- for a few days -- through movies, exercise and rest. Everyone needs a little decompression, right?
