So much to say, so little time At least for now, so little time.  Suffice it to say that I have just returned from a glorious--really, glorious--weekend in Big Sur with my family.  If you've never been there, you should make it a priority to go, at least once in your life.  It is a place where even an atheist can feel the presence of the divine, incarnated in redwoods, rocky cliffs and crashing seas.  If you don't believe me, read Mayer Rus' "Testy Tastemaker" column in this month's House and Garden. (In theory, the column is online, but the link is bad.  I'll keep trying to provide a link, but you could also read it for free at the newsstand--it's always the last page of the magazine.)  Mayer went to college with me, and though we weren't really friends, our circles sometimes intersected.  He's a brilliant and funny writer on design in all forms, and he, too, loves Big Sur.  Check it out.  I'll post some pictures of my gorgeous children exulting about waterfalls and rocky beaches in the next couple of days. Also, I have a new profile in the Santa Barbara Independent.  Let me know what you think.  It's about a woman who's developed a yoga program for develomentally disabled adults.  I'm thrilled to have it published, and irritated that the copy editor changed my correct usage:  "Down syndrome" to incorrect usage "Down's syndrome." Sigh.  I went to the trouble to make sure my version was correct, because I too get confused.  Oh well. More later. I am off to my manic Monday of kids, karate, grocery shopping and reentry into my life.  10:13:08 AM     comment [] trackback []
