Day 12 into Day 13: Dawn, 5 lanes & back to the city…
Monday’s blog, Day 12, was written before the day was finito. Knowing I was intending on leaving before dawn yesterday morning (day 13), I packed up as much as I could before my friend Tom and I went off to Cambridge (not too far away) to meet our other friend, Dan. More hellos, hugs and…

Summer 2010 – A Series of Moments…
“Spectacles of Awe…” Another fun moment this summer was seeing “Kooza” by the Cirque de Soleil. Having met clown, Ron Campbell on twitter, and then offline in L.A. last year, I was excited to see him performing live in the big tent in Vancouver. If any of you have seen Cirque de Soleil, you understand…
