I experimented with a new WordPress “theme” last night, you know, I thought “Lingonberry” looked pretty fresh…
I also read there that “content would not be affected” ha haaaaaaa!!!!!
Not True.
I’ve put out calls for help. The lines are open!
Bill Runge is a God
Yes, he is. The reason “Serengeti” is so epic is because of his amazing talents as a writer and arranger, not to mention multi-instrumentalist! So this is very much a shared honor with the one and only Bill Runge.http://www.billrunge.com/
“This is top shelf jazz, the kind that lives between 64th notes, and Burke’s virtuosity with the flute is rivaled only by her skill as a songwriter.”

aboard my brother’s boat “Island Roamer“of www.bluewateradventures.ca It was Mom’s 90th
Award Nominations, Mad Love and Room with a View.
So Bill and I finally make it out to Harrison Hot Springs…hallelujah!
I check my email and see that ‘Serengeti,’has been nominated for an “Akademia Music Award”
out of Los Angeles. far out. I get a call from my brother Kerry, and find out that Dad has had a bad fall and is in hospital,
needing an operation. whoa. Bill and I sat by the fire for a long while, staring into the dancing flames…
The old man made it through. I spoke with him today and his tone anyway, was good. We have a room with a view and it’s
all you could ever want.
Contacting Our Intelligent. Original. Inspired. Good Fortune.
PACIFIC CONTACT. I step out into a world I’ve never known before…
it’s about reaching out for new terrain, it’s also about serendipity and chance. Interestingly, I found myself just standing
beside several of the people I had wanted to make contact with…lovely people!
It felt wonderful, and right, to be a part of this great festivity of Arts and Culture, everyone on their special quest, all of us
together.
Happy Questing Pacific Contact!
Ants, Uncles and Telepathic >>>> Messages )))))))))
Last year right on Daylight Savings the ants showed up. Like they were taking their cue from the Great Ant conductor in the sky. Sometime last week I started making preparations, so I might be able to head them off at the pass this year. At every entry point, I laid out a mixture of cornmeal and borax, while sending them strong telepathic messages not to come at all !
ha haaaaa!
do not come
go eat somewhere else please !
so far…no ants! TT__HH___AAA__NN__KK__YYYY__OO__UUUUUUUU !!!!! Ants…and uncles…
Happy International Women’s Day!
Yup, got all jacked up on dong quai today and joined the women’s liberation movement march on Commercial drive.
At one point a guy in one of those unreasonably huge pick up trucks, threw a fit and laid down some rubber because we’d apparently put a dent in his day. Someone shouted out ,”dude, calm down. You’re the reason we’re having this march!” Perfect.
Meet Natalie Drache, Doyenne of Actions, maintaining perfect cool. It was a beautiful day.
Happy Birthday Daddio!
Vancouver Horn Players Blow Away Fog
Fog Horns
The chilly Vancouver fog really is oppressive today
We quiet down like birds at night still stopped waiting
pondering which colour of tea would be most beneficial
green matcha, yellow camomile, red rose. we have all the colours.
you just can’t see them today.
How about this: I invite, entreat, any and all of the wind players in Vancouver to meet at Prospect Point to play today at 2 pm to play improvised communal tones together, to blow the fog away.
weather permitting

Let’s warm ourselves by the fires of Art and Culture January 22/23
It’s winter in Canada. That mysteriously long seeming season that settles whitely across most of our wide land for months. CBC radio is a lifeline. People go to concerts and shows to warm themselves by the fires of Art and Culture. It’s cool, in every way! Vancouver is like the unfrozen area at the edge of the pond so to speak, where the ducks can still swim around. Lucky ducks.
So come warm yourselves January 22/23, and swim around, you lucky duck. How does a downtown Vancouver Caribbean island sound to you? Reservations 604 – 568-5882.
