You Can't Forget Your Past

This morning, my friend Puck said goodbye after a short visit to see me here in San Jose. His visit afforded me a break from the monotonous job hunting and he had a few nuggets of wisdom to share. Now he's off on his adventures and I'm refocusing on logistical nonsense. It's always great to see a friend. Puck and I met 2 1/2 yrs. ago at Joshua Tree Music Festival 2005 and have learned many important lessons from one another.

This is me & Moma Moon, a sweet dulcimer artist & nurse from Tennessee who works at Vanderbilt Hospital with my Aunt Spring. We met this summer at Bonnaroo 2007. She sends me inspirational messages and prayers and makes dulcimers with her husband. I'm looking forward to grooving with her at 'Roo 2008.

Justin & Kathryn, my American neighbors in New Zealand. He's living in NorCal, too, doing web design, but I haven't seen him since NZ. Kathryn a.k.a. Frau Schmaterling was my tripp partner and tentmate for 'Roo 2007 (beautiful).

My Aunt Spring, Uncle Bobby, & cousins are an AMAZING hippie family. He was able to make 'Roo '07 (as well as 'Roo '05) and you can check out their family blog at http://www.ajoyfulhappylife.blogspot.com
