May 2008 be filled with peace, love and the opportunity to joyfully wear new hats, just like Fugee. Doesn't he look happy?
If we haven't had the chance to connect in 2007, I'll try to be better in 2008.

Craig is a great mercurial thinker, feeler and freewheeler... I've had the pleasure of working with him, and he's always has a laugh in the face of samsara that lightens any load. His stories are priceless, witty and wise, insightful and inspiring, Craig has the strength to climb Kilamanjaro and the sweetness to soothe a wild beast named Fuji. Plus he has some totally boss ink. May NYC appreciate the gift that is Craig.
Thanks for the Medicine Buddha thangka and the cool Ganesh Craigums!

"Careful reflection of the barnacles and lead in one's life, when buffed through sorrow, joy and experience, reveal the nacre and gold that was always there. This is life as Alchemy."

god visits in different forms--a stranger, a virus, a lover, a thief.
where were you the day you mistook passion for greed, lust for love, horror as beauty?
where were you the day you turned god away?

complexified:
Just your typical/atypical, HIV positive-, Weimaraner owning-, Gemini Scorpio rising-, cynical optimist-, world traveling-, funny/serious-, extroverted introvert. I embrace life fully and powerfully, live responsibly in the present, have left jobs of importance for calls to the road. I’ve raised almost 100,000 dollars for AIDS/Breast Cancer and wildlife causes, ridden bikes in Montana, California, Alaska, Laos, Burma, run a marathon in Hawaii, climbed Kilimanjaro, sat with mountain gorillas, seen a tiger on foot, a leopard, been charged by rhinos in Nepal, I’ve laughed in Burma, had malaria in India, dived with whale sharks in Thailand, met the Dalai Lama, Stevie Nicks, Elizabeth Montgomery, Bill Clinton, Yul Brenner, Carol Channing, Michu-the world’s smallest man, The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins, Beck. What have I learned? I know nothing and everything. Family and personal growth are my greatest joys. At times my dog can smell like an old shoe. So can I.
"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief."...
