I was reading up on it online. The main challenge would be cheese. As it is, I eat a cheese sandwich for lunch most days. So I would need something else to make a sandwich. Eliminating butter would be no big deal. Ice cream would be fine–the soy kind is tasty. We would not be… Read More »
Here’s a new zine forum I just joined, Crabby Media. Looks good.
Today Erik’s at a Zen retreat. I baked zucchini bread, and I’m working on addressing envelopes for sending out Erik and LM Magazine #44. I have the layout all done, and I’m waiting to make copies on Tuesday. I guess I’ll call the copy place to see if they’re open Monday, but I bet they’ll… Read More »

Property was seized (sounds like mostly computers), the warrant was provided after the fact and was vague, and the search lasted more than an hour and a half. The FBI, Berkeley police, and Alameda sheriff conducted the raid. They… Read More »

She put her hands on my head, and then we looked into one another’s eyes for a few seconds. I feel skeptical about this being a spiritually worthwhile thing to… Read More »

The good news is that I have no cavities. They do x-rays there once a year–is this normal? For some reason, I thought more like every… Read More »
This morning we went to Vedanta to look at Krishna still decorated from last night’s celebration. Photo by Erik.
I accidentally bought a bag of red plums–I thought they were nectarines–and didn’t know what to do with them, so I decided to make fruit salad. The recipe is red plums, green grapes, banana, mango, and strawberries. I think the grapes are my favorite. The mangoes are really good too. Anyway, it’s a great way… Read More »
I really wanted Hillary Clinton to get picked as Obama’s vice president. Oh well.
