Social Band!

Today we're off to hear Social Band's holiday concert.  Two of our friends are in the all-voice group.  Mark is in the back row, 4th from left, wearing a bright blue shirt.  Robin is in the back row, 5th from right, also in blue. They are near-professional in quality and so creative in their presentation. :-)

Ordination

Today, a woman I was spiritual guide for, for many years, is being ordained an Episcopal priest.










This photo is from her ordination as a deacon which took place last Summer.  As you can see, the Bishop laid his hands on her head at the moment of consecration.  Her priesting will take place in this very same spot.  However, today the Bishop will be joined by a "great cloud" of priests also laying on hands at the moment of consecration.  As you can imagine, there's some serious kundalini energy that takes place at an ordination

So, the purported end of the world is to take place at 6:12am my time.  I fully expect to be asleep. ;-)

Vermont's Causeway has reopened!!

The Causeway was badly damage by the high waters created by Irene last year.  Below is a photo of the damage, and a photo I took yesterday.  We went for a walk, not knowing if we'd get very far.  Turns out it was reopened just last week!  And it's better than ever.  I will be posting photos from our walk, this week. Enjoy!

"Sun Nov 18: Bus back [from Myanmar] to central Bangkok
We plan to be back in central Bangkok by 5pm, but recommend that, wherever possible, those of you leaving the country soon after the Walk book your departing flights for Mon Nov 19."

Once again, thank you Howard Dean!
