I don't know how long it's here for, but I recommend visiting the copy of the Vietnam Memorial Wall that is on tour at Acacia cemetery in Lake Forest Park.

In my free time, I'm reading "No Time to Lose" by Pema Chodron in preparation for the three days with her later this month. Yesterday I concentrated on how hating my former boss for burying the company was ( Read more... )

Solstice was very fulfilling this year. The menu was good and doable for us and the company was drama free for the most part. The most part being me making the interesting decision to put my left hand in a running blender and then being rushed for stitches and back before the dinner rush! Every year the 12-14 hour days take their toll a bit more ( Read more... )
