Late in posting

I've been a bit remiss in my posting lately. What's been happening...Joe, I and Max went to Clear Lake over the Memorial Day holiday to spend it with Debbie, Jeremy, Rachel and of course, Daisy dawg. The weather was great, we fixed these awesome peach glazed pork chops with a peach salsa, yum yum. This week is the International Children's Festival at my job at the Ordway. So, lots of school children this week, and then the weekend is family weekend, so it will be very hectic. Monday night Annemarie stayed with us, and we watched this terrific Will Ferrell film "Stranger than Fiction." Not a typical Will Ferrell film at all, this was just wonderful. Very touching, good humour, rather poignant. If you haven't seen it, rent it.

Gyuto Monks

Saturday night we went to a Tantric chant concert with our great friends Lynn and Gene. It was performed by a group of Gyuto Tibetan monks, and was completely fascinating and meditative. Where this sound comes from within each of the monks I do not know. It's a very deep chant from within them. To quote their website "The monks of Gyuto have perfected a special type of chant in which each monk sings not a single note but an entire chord. “This remarkable, transcendentally beautiful sound,” notes Robert Thurman, Chair of the Dept. of Religion, Columbia University, “is thought to arise only from the throat of a person who has realized selfless wisdom.”" Check out their website here

The "Find of the Week!"

This last weekend was the annual "Tangletown Garage Sale" weekend, so Joe and I went exploring the sales in our neighborhood. Didn't find a lot, but we did find this Italian print from an exhibit in Verona, Italy of the work of one Pisanello. It's very cool and sort of large. It completely fits right in to our decor and on a big space in our house. And it was a find at only $10. Can't go wrong there, am I right?
