searching

Last night I went to a Vipassana meditation group meetup at a library.  The guy who runs it talked a lot.  But I had a great time meditating for half an hour.  So maybe I’ll go back. I’m searching.  Nothing feels quite right. Then we went to this utterly fantastic art show that’s at the… Read More »

chocolate factory, cactus garden, roadrunner

This afternoon our friend C who is staying here asked for a ride to Henderson.  So we took him out to Henderson, and then Ming was like, “Is there anywhere else you want to go?”  For years I’d wanted to go to the chocolate factory. So we went to the chocolate factory.  They have a… Read More »

party like it’s 1999

May Day

This morning we served the hungry.  Nothing weird happened.  I’m always afraid a pigeon’s going to bean me. Today’s excitement is that a friend’s coming over for lunch.  I’m making broccoli soup.  I want to make baba ganoush too.  But I think I lost my lemon.  And those two dishes don’t really go together, do… Read More »

Today Ming went on a tour of the Nevada National Security Site, aka the test site.  Ming went with a few United Statesians, but mostly a bus full of Japanese.  I didn’t want to go because it’s an all day thing and I’d be stuck in the bus for hours and hours with very emotional… Read More »
