Beautiful Days
I really wish I had some random snapshots of the weather here in the last week. The days have been beautiful...sunny blue skys and big fluffy clouds. I have been sitting outside in the afternoon for some chill time/meditation...chirping birds and spacious views. My grandfather's pigeons flying round in the late afternoon. Robins, sparrows, and redwing blackbirds voicing their pleasure at the present climate condition. The sunsets have been really great and I do have a couple pictures of those, which you can see above.
Going to work in the morning is an entirely different kind of beauty...watching the sun come up on the horizon, with mist coming off of Beaver Lake in the foreground...it almost makes getting up @ 5:30 to go to work enjoyable.
Things continue to go well. The fam's coming in @ the end of the month, I am still cleaning and I added this little picture montage to the blog among other things. In a couple of weeks Khenpo Sherab Ozer Rinpoche will be here and I am really looking forward to that.
I hope everything is well with everyone, and don't forget the hype.

I never forget that im the great white hype :D. So Vanessa is thinking of takeing a job @ Starbucks...So like you, I to will experience the greatness of waking up at 5:30 am to take her to work. I probably will not have the positive outlook that you have. Since you know how grumpy I am when I wake up. Whats up with you people wanting to sling cappicino's and coffee. Hope all is well I will be 26 soon I am kinda scarred becuase today was the first day I ever reliezed that I'm not young anymore. I was at Taco Bell for lunch dressed in my work gear and there was a crowd of teenagers there and I happen to over hear some of there converstions and I couldnt relate to any of it they were talking about bands I had never heard. So I went outside to have a ciggerette and the mohawk kid(the alpha male) try's to bum a ciggerette from me. So I ask his age and he prompyly told me 18 (eyes were rolling in the back of my head) I told he didnt have to lie to me. He confesed his age of 16 the I reliezed I would be 10 years older then him in a few days. I lectured him about how I wish someone didnt give me that ciggerette when I had asked. After all this I thought of the episode of the simpsons where Lisa sees her future and Bart tells Homer in the Future what happend man you use to be cool? I am now that guy what happend I use to be cool. Ill stop rambling now.
peace, loven and pilsburry
so no more Steve madden, or she wants to work 2 jobs? tell her she shouldn't work @ starbucks...you don't get normal tips, instead you get a flat rate "tip" every day no matter how much business the store does...coffee bean is way better and you get free coffee ;p
i can totally relate to your experience...there really is a generation gap or 2-3. in the words of Mick Jaggar "what a drag it is getting old" lol
the screwy thing about kids is that they will never listen to the lecture, and neither would we. my brother is in the process of learning some of these things...advice he would be better off heeding, but won't so he'll end up learning on his own. oh well, such is life.
i saw one of my fav. simpsons the other night and the scene was quite appropriate for this conversation...a young homer...
homer: you wouldn't understand
grandpa: i used to be with it. then they changed what it is. now it seems weird and scary, and it will happen to you.
homer: marge i used to rock and roll all night and party everyday...then it was every other day. now im lucky if i can find once a week to get funky.
good stuff
She would be leaving Steve Madden (So that means you can never intern there :() Starbucks is more per hour and it with a lot of her friends. They are also willing ot work around her school schedual so I think it might pan out for her. That is a great episode of the simpsons ;)
