UK wedding pictures are finally up! (1/08)

Wedding pictures are up! From California anyway ... it will be a while before we are able to post our pics from England. We wanted to say, AGAIN, so many thanks to everyone who was able to join us for one or the other (or both) of our wedding ceremonies. They were the two most unforgettable days of our lives, for all the best reasons. Almost all of the photographs I posted were taken by the amazing Sylvie Gil. If you want to order any prints, please just e-mail me and I will give you the pertinent information. Also up now are a few pics from our honeymoon in Italy. (8/07)

I have just begun the Mindfulness Yoga and Meditation Training Program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. This eighteen-month program will deepen both my asana and sitting practices, as well as my philosophical grounding in Buddhist and Yogic thought. This program, which is very practice-oriented, will be a wonderful complement to my concurrent work in Georg Feuerstein's Traditional Yoga Studies distance learning course. (8/07)

We have a new member in our family! We were vacationing in rural New Mexico, when one night at 3:00 am we were awakened by a huge commotion just outside our cottage. A pack of coyotes had chased this little dog up to our house, and he narrowly escaped their jaws (by millimeters it seemed), falling into our portola! He was completely traumatized for hours, but the next day made friends with Kath, Tim, and eventually Buddy and Leia, so we decided to keep him. Welcome Eduardo ! (8/06)  

For my friends & family -- I turned the "pets" page into an Adventures of Buddy and Leia page, which chronicles the zany adventures of Kath & Tim, Buddy & Leia. (7/05)
