…that Americans would do something about their gun laws…
…that Israel would leave Gaza alone…
…that Sarah Palin would go sit on the lip of that volcano that is erupting…
…that the Beatles were going to have a reunion…
…others planets would intervene in the Violence on Earth…
…that Jupiter was always aligned with Mars…
…that Mercury could figure out how not to go in retrograde…
…that the Lion and the Lamb would lay down there arms in Jerusalem…

…graces my life in his subtle glowing way.  Now would one not want to have this dude teaching you Art History?  He is up in the States now for three weeks and this is what he wears to school.  The Goddess loves him….and I loves him too.  Should I start singing "wind for my wings"?  Or better yet…he is my wind AND my wings.  I would not be the man that I am today if I had not invited him out to Lagunitas all those years ago.  Casa De Las Ranas would never have risen from those weeds that once surrounded our Magic Home.  We have created an interesting and colorful oasis…and we ain't finished yet!

….sigh…sniff…sniff…we will miss her chortle.  We love her so…lots of laughs interspersed with imaginative wisdom and folly…she lights up our lives when she is here…

…for not attending to this blog…Busy working, celebrating, hosting, entertaining, loving, returning, and a host of one thousand other things….Lovee is here…she leaves tomorrow.  I will post pics from the last few weeks plus get you up to date on the celebration that we had here last Tuesday: celebrating our marriage with San Miguel friends….I am enclosing a photo of some of the work on a new door that I am working on…Love to all!  Especially Whitley!

…I grew older and as of this writing I am getting even older.  A woman in Oklahoma that I knew as a child sent me this photo of myself at age 17.  I was a full fledged wanna-be…notice the madras shirt…that was the style…the Beatles had appeared on my horizon the year before…so the hair of this young man was an important issue.  it is all really quite something…this age thing…I thought it happened to others…I actually enjoy reconnecting at times with my past…thank Goddess that I don't have to live there…..

…it has been a lazy quietly eventful week at the beach.  We are leaving in a few hours to climb back up to the high desert of San Miguel.  We have sprouted wings!!!!!!  We thank Divine Miss Sugar Power for this collage!
