Will wonders how other California friends are making it through this storm. As for me I'm curled up with Jack the Ripper, or more precisely a marvelous audio book of Patricia Cornwell's meticulously researched and grippingly told "Jack the Ripper:...

Leave Sonoma? Not at all! I moved here for good reasons after 35 years in Santa Cruz.

I agree...the beach is not a place for this. Perhaps you remember the book and film many years ago, "On the Beach"? Or more recently that cheesy version of a place where many of my friends liked to party at, but the gilm gave it an apocalyptic end...

Modern science knows how to fix a hole in the heart. It can diagnose a hole in the ozone layer and prove the existence of black holes at the edge of the universe.
But when it comes to explaining what's often described as the "God-shaped hole" in our lives, neither quantum physicis...

I found these three recently-published books of special interest, one because I've found meditation desirable but a difficult path to follow until I discovered Thich Nhat Hanh/s Walking Meditation many years ago, and this latest version with its CD and DVD recharged me; the second because while i959 was special to me because I graduated from college and did a year of graduate study in San Francisco, no one had examined that year's pivotal influence until Fred Kaplan's 1959: The Year Everythin...

I find these three recently-published books of special interest, one because I'm a brother, the next because it reprints fabulous food writings from a great "lost" WPA file, and the last because as I get older I want my American history to be people-centered, truer, and if it's written for young people, that's even better.

2. You met the Kogis in person - which (still) blows my mind; And that's a good thing!
