Some notes from my Peace Corps experience 2003-2005. On December 25th, 2005 I managed to fly from Uzbekistan, where I was stationed, to Delhi.

Brenda had her Way again on opening night at ODC at Yerba Buena. The St. Regis was host again to the pre- and post-party and, as usual performed well. The Company dancers were great and it was refreshing to have a bit of live music. A good time was had by all

Cirque de Soleil has effectively replaced the circus…probably a relief for all the animal lovers out there. They’ve been able to attract the thrill seekers and the dreamers in the past but it seems they might be slipping a little with this last installment – Totem. Although it’s still a fantastic show, it’s lost a…

I just got a postcard from Egypt and have my own ideas about what it says. Maybe you can suggest some other interpretation than the one below: “two misshapen people have a conversation and then one of them jumps into a kayak and releases a three leaf clover into the sky, which then makes one…
