family tree

Scott’s dad passed away January 31st. My father-in-law was a formidable man just shy of 98 years old. Jerry Morgan was known as a titan in the furniture industry. His wife Elaine had gone four months ahead of him, also 97. Sadly, Scott’s sister Lindy and mother Ginny also departed within the ten years since […]

rainbows & sunflowers

Last week Queen Elizabeth II died. A rainbow appeared at the exact moment that the British flag was lowered to half mast at Windsor Castle. Then, in London, a double rainbow appeared over Buckingham Palace when they officially put out a notice of HM’s death. This has been an excellent reminder of all the mystical […]

happy birthday, loolie

Today would have been Loolie’s 13th birthday. The two Rons, my friends in LA,  sent me this poem by Robinson Jeffers. I will read it aloud at Sand Beach when I scatter Loolie’s ashes. I am not lonely. I am not afraid. I am still yours. The House Dog’s Grave (Haig, an English bulldog) I’ve […]

“First Snow” I’m dreaming and I see a hand striking a heavy wooden door repeatedly. I hear the knocking VERY LOUDLY. I match the knocking with a loud shout out in my sleep, “COME IN!” and this wakes me up. I am no longer asleep. Now I am having a conscious dream in waking life. […]

somewear everywhere

Today our great friend Roberto’s son Alan notified me of a super cool kickstarter project he’s working on called Somewear. It’s a device and app to provide global hotspot coverage at an affordable price. Remember when Alan came to Goa on his spring break and saw Scott and me? (click here). I know Scott would […]

artorium

Over 4 years back, it was difficult to source art materials in Goa. I wrote at the time that The Art Shoppe was the only art store around for art supplies. Since then, Panjim is bustling with activity: a gigantic super bridge is being constructed over the river, Manipol Hospital has a fancy new facility…and, […]
