Look Up


The other night, I stepped into the foyer of the building where I'm staying.  The roof there isn't finished, so when I looked up, I could seet he stars.  The power is usually out here but for a few hours a day, so the city was mostly dark.  I walked  up the stairs and onto what will be the seco ...>

The View from Here


I'm continuing to try and "look up" when I go out now and see what's going on around me.  It's surprising how life goes on even in difficult circumstances like in Nepal.  There are a lot of people wandring through the streets selling their wares, like a couple of carpets, recycled burlap bags tak ...>

Translators’ Guild


A friend just sent me this link about a recent meeting held in Boulder, CO of translators and students of Tibetan language.  Over 100 people participated.  It seems they want to form a guild to ensure high standards and also to provide standards of support, like health insurance, for professiona ...>

A Mouse in My House


I didn't sleep well last night.  I usually wake up once or twice in the wee hours of the morning, but last night there was a lot of racket after I woke up, courtesy of the mouse that has moved into my house. There was a lot of scratching, rummaging, and climbing going on.  I kept sitting up and t ...>

Hot, Flat and Crowded


I'm currently reading a fantastic book by Thomas L. Friedman called Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution - and How It Can Renew America.
