Before I meditate, and on the advice of a friend, I think of the verse of the han. Life Slips Quickly By. Time waits for no one. Wake up. Wake up.

Maria has gotten hold of some dog fabric and is making a few dog potholders – she plans more for next year. If the writing thing doesn’t work out, I can see us in Key West or San Jose selling potholders at various busy street corners. Has some appeal. The dogs could draw crowds. I think her potholders are neat. My notecards are up on the Redux website, for viewing and for sale.
