I once tried to take a pic like that, but not nearly as good - either I'm not too good at slam dunks or the Sun wasn't playing ball

Sorry to disagree Paula - a lot of it is in the feet, he's got at least a foot and a half more than me

Araucaria, I may have been too literal in your interpretation. bwahaha!!!

You're right Paula, I take size 41, compared with Michael's size, what, 15?

I just watched this TED talk about wearing second hand clothes.
Since my days as a fashion designer I have enjoyed shopping in thrift stores more
than in normal retail outlets, and most of my designer friends were like me.
Once in a while I might shop at a Saint-Laurent sale, but when you manufacture clothes you don't buy retail.
Here in Costa Rica we have huge second hand shops which are called Ropa Americana. They used to be called Ropa Usada, but since they came via containers from the US, someone painted their sign with the word USAda which means used, in the colors of the US flag.
Then the next guy changed the word USAda to Americana, and even though you can find items made in Paris and Milan, they are now always called ROPA AMERICANA.

I buy clothes and linen there...nearly every sheet and pillow I buy is Ralph Lauren, none cost me more than two or three dollars. My clothes are also top designer labels, in Costa Rica I stick mainly to black, and in Barbados I wear a lot of white, beige or pastels. Nothing like the girl in the TED talk.

Anyway, just thought I'd share that here. Spending money on expensive clothes is as silly as buying a brand new car...

Hey Ulli, that's Jessi Arrington. She's from Starkville, Mississippi, though she lives in New York now. My wife knew her at the university where they were in the same sorority. Her TED talk was pretty good.

Here and Now
Sitting on my back porch listening to the crickets and frogs chirp, the river rushing by, watching fireflies light up the trees like christmas lights. I ponder the world I am leaving and the new world I am entering. Everywhere there is love and acceptance, like a butterfly leaving the cocoon I am emerging into a world that has called for me. Today is a gift and I am present. Grateful cannot describe how I feel. I wish every one in the world to be as blessed. Thank you village at this critical time in my growth and for inspiring me to dream..

Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing
art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course,
they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one
last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.

At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as
part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with each stranger
who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is
what happened.

*** 2 FEET of snow ***





Say thanx for the music tribute and especially to Paula and WhiteFeather for helping me fill in for Gio while he enjoys a little down time.

It's bloody snowing here again. I love the snow but jeez not now. Had enough already. I want my spring! David Icke/Joe Strummer/Onyxknight are correct..the ice age is coming! I reckon it's here

Hi Paula, I figured this one would definitely have meaning to you. To sum up where I've been lately, I drew the Prairie Dog card (I work w/Jamie Sams & David Carson's Medicine Cards) 3 times in a row! So, I have been reflecting on what that means to me for the last several days as I contemplate another move. We moved into this house 6 months ago, moved my daughter 2 months in a row, and now we're moving in 3 weeks. It's a good move though, maybe even another, better, job too. Been missing everyone. Life in the Village goes on though. Love all you fine folks here and hoping all is well in your world.

Wow, Astrid. Where did you find this?
True art is what shows us the nature of life, as well as spirit.

Deprivation and absense showing that eternal love exists,
perhaps more so than physical togetherness.

Here its been hot as, sleeping at night is not an easy task.
I have no aircon, but most of the windows have screens to i can open the house
up in the evenings.

Today i had my house inspection,
and thankfully it was fire, what fire??
He didn't notice that the laundry was a bright daffodil yellow.
Now i have even permission to give the bathroom a make over,
it so needs it, i so dislike ugly bathrooms. Double Libran can't help herself,
has to be always making the ugly more beautiful.

Please don't go crazy if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened
And you never will
If you don't listen to me
...
Sweetheart tell me what's up?
I won't stop...No way
...
Both my shoulders are heavy
From the wieght of us both

YOU HAVE NOT HEARD A SINGLE WORD I HAVE SAID--OH MY GOD
...
Please take it easy, it can all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes
that you've listed so far
...
Dr Jekyll is wrestling Hyde, for my pride...

No, don't be so silly, it's the local effects of global warming aka climate change

This is the sort of performance they would do back then; powerful stuff indeed.
