Tuscan Words

I'm addicted to TED! TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Imagine if you could spent about 15 minutes in a room with an idea that could change the world. What would you do with this information? Each year this group recognizes the top three ideas and awards a $100,000 prize for their development.

The annual conference now brings togethe... read more

Dear Mr. Obama,

Thank you for this lovely letter. I am surprised, quite frankly, that any candidate for president has the balls to put these words into written form, but you have done so with thought and regard. Truthfully, my energies of late have been behind Mrs. Clinton, mainly because I think she is one tough bitch from Hell, and I think to clean up, if I can say it as such, to "clean up" this ungodly disaster currently in the White House, the Justice System, and our tenuous global p... read more

Calling All Angels...

we're trying,
we're hoping,
we're hurtin',
we're loving,
we're crying,
we're calling,

cause we're not sure how this goes...

Thanks Jane.

Breitenbush was heavenly. Snow up to our armpits. I held court and bed space at Uncle Marky's Bar and Grill. I loved hearing Jicama and Keer crooning up a storm. Orchid, Mojo, Aster, Web, Serendipity, GlitterPussy, and Moregain brought it home to me. Thanks guys. The days were warm and the nights clear with ... read more

We spent today (late Sunday afternoon 1/20/08) exploring a minus tide on our favorite beach. The sun was very special. One more week here and then we're back to the city.

Hello dear ones.

New Year's Eve greetings from the edge of the continent where I'm the winter innkeeper at an amazing little place perched about 200 ft over the waves on the central Oregon coast. We've had a couple of off-the-chart storms. One happened three weeks ago where we lost power for eight days and also set the area wind speed record (most likely after the wind gauge croaked at 138 mph). It was great to have some intrepid in-tune Portlanders out to cheer on the storm and our ... read more

I saw this online and wanted to honor this woman and her husband. I thought about this letter several times today. I don't know who she is, but ironically I probably now know the most important piece of her life. I honor her by making her voice heard. I send her peace. I cover her in blue light. Aho. TUSK

My dear family,

Our sister Jaid has asked me to convey to you the sad news that his
partner, Greg (also known formerly as Breeze), has passed to the other
side after a difficult and prolonged battle with depression.

It has been one of the most painful days of my life.

Greg was one of my closest friends. That's a photo at Fae coffee in Portland just a few weeks ago. Greg is the shorter of the two. Blond and gorgeous.

We struggled all winter together with his illness. I pushed... read more

Seems one Corey Andrew wanted to join the US Army and Army recruiter Sgt. Marcia Ramode had something to say about it. So did CNN. Watch the video link for the story. It's pretty wild.

Check this out. In Maui, the WhaleSong Project has installed a floating microphone offshore to broadcast LIVE humpback whale conversation over the internet. I had it on late the other night via my house stereo system and it was amazing. Great to go to sleep with... They say peak whale activity in Hawaii is now during the Spring when they migrate down from Alaska. At night I guess they come closer to the microphone.
