My Bard college friend Bob Richardson remembers it so it must be real. He remembers me walking up to Bob Dylan's table in a cafe in Woodstock in circa 1965 and sitting down. I can picture the cafe and walking in. I remember Mr. Dylan and I talking about the pursuit of nirvana. He said ti was easy. I said it was hard. I pasted Nirvana today but it was closed.

Last night I went to see Janis at the Loft. I did hear her at the Family Dog in Denver. I had a blind date with her in circa 1970 at a retreat outside Taos, N.M. but she never got there. One night around the same time I was having a drink at a bar I never drank at (in Taos) and the emcee saidthat a young singer would like to sing a song he had written. It was Kris Kristofferson and he sang "Me and Bobby McGee".
I added a bird to my life...a sand crane.
I try and cook as much as I can at home. even if its cold. (I stopped using my fireplace because it doesn't draw well and my asthma kicks up).
The view from my kitchen out...
what covers the window above my kitchen sink

To the right of my main door
the entrance from inside
remembering a friend, Carlos Batts
That's Carlos in the middle between his wife, Lillian and Ori Small wife of Dave Naz (r) when Ori and Daz lived on Laurel Canyon
they were working on something for a tv doc on Carlos
This cold morning while Gail was at the gym I was able to photo capture her strange boird that pecks at her window (lower left corner)

Lillian aka April Flores as elf
Its been a good year though a bit rough with little money and big kidney stone operation. Plenty to be thankful for.Why not peace instead of hate. Why not meditation instead of bullets. Why not be open to every way of life. Why not embrace understanding.
I have (I bet) the largest collection of photo stills of softcore porn from the 1960's. Here is a photo from the set of "Girls Rough House" 1971.
