Just sayin' ... ::grin::

While I won't be able to go to this concert due to transportation ...

-- you try catching public transportation from Claremont to my local after 9:30pm ::snort:: I'd never make the puppet workshops I've been waiting to attend the following day due to total fade of my body! Sometimes ya just gotta love CFS symptoms! --

... I certainly hope *you* can make the concert!

Many of my friends are telling, and I can assure you a nourishing community of people there -- both as listeners and tellers.

An added benefit for me, is you'll be supporting one of the groups I am proudly a member of, and that means a lot to me!

Okay, the best benefit? *You* get to hear some of the finest tellers around for a mere pittance of cash outlay.

If you attend, I'd love to hear from you, your thoughts and responses to the ancient tradition of spoken word telling!

Hope your weekend is great!

This is a version of Gado Gado I put together for breakfast this morning.  Including a peanut sauce I can digest.  Be careful and change the sauce if ypu are allergic to peanuts.

Because I have a refrigerator and a stove it's a possibility.  I can store the unused vegetables and leftovers for another meal or three.  When I was on the streets it was an impossibility.

Gado Gado is an easy-to-assemble Indonesian salad (with cooked and uncooked vegetables).  You can vary it each time you create it.  Use it for lunch, dinner, snack--and if you are me, breakfast.

If you are a volunteer cook for a shelter local to you consider it for serving! It's economical and FRESH!  You can use cabbage, bean sprouts, cauliflower, fried onions, tofu, spinsch, celery -- get creative!

This one is:

Cooked: green beans, purple cauliflower, carrots, potatoes

Raw: cucumber

Sauce: peanut butter, 2 cloves raw garlic, pinch cayenne, juice of 1 fresh pressed key lime, squirt of raw blue agave nectar, warm tap water, chopped greens of green onions

Etiquette: public transportation & all elevators--> notes while traveling

1) When trying to enter, please stand clear if the doors and leave a path for those exiting to egress.

Why?

a) want to be on time to your very important date; or to catch your next connection?

Clumping at the entrance blocks egress both in and out. Multiply that by the number of stops and you final destination is that much further away.

Or, you could simply consider that it is a respectful and nurturing act on your part of being a human.

b) Are there disabled citizens, or seniors, or parents carrying young children?

Regardless of weather, how late you personally are, or what you maybe paying attention to on your handheld unit--let these folks on before you squish, shove, shoulder, and elbow your way thru the crowd pressing to get on.

Bottom-line economic worldview: it's going to save time and money.

If one of those disabled citizens, seniors, or parents carrying young children falls or hurts themselves during embarkation or in-transit, you are going to wait while accident reports are filled out by the transit operators.

Or, you could simply consider that it is a respectful and nurturing act on your part of being a human.

2) If someone vocally expresses they are disabled, a senior citizen, or in need of one of the seats designated for such ....

If you are able -- get up out of the seat, and give it to them.

It takes a lot of moxie to speak up in front of a bus-load of strangers and ask for the seats designated to assist those in need.

3) if someone even LOOKS like they may need a seat--even if it's not in the designated priority seating section ....

If you are able -- offer that person your seat with a smile on your face; and in your voice; and in your eyes.

Give them a chance to accept or reject your offer.

Why?

Are you in danger of falling down?
Are you in any danger other than a mild bit of discomfort from standing?

Or, you could simply consider that it is a respectful and nurturing act on your part of being a human.

Yes, I have an agenda. It took me one very loud voice and a minute and a half to get the woman with a cane a seat on the bus. It was another two stops before I could garner a seat.

Plus, I simply consider it a respectful and nurturing part of being a human.

This is it!  Today is the day!  At the bottom of this post you'll see the .pdf with directions and information.

I've been privileged to be community with some of these folks for over 10 years.  From the sublime to the over-the-top, the tellers in this concert will not only entertain, they illustrate the ancient art of oral telling in ways you may have never imagined.

Will I see you there?

I recommend the concert!  It's of general interest to anyone.

The workshops are great for anyone using stories to entertain, inspire, teach, advocate, .... heck, let's me be specific:  communicate.

I'll be there for the concert, as an audience member.  Transportation precludes me going for the whole day.  Will I see you there?

After the untimely disappearance of my dragon puppet this am had to say hello to an old friend.

Not the best shot, but better than nothing.

Size 10 med, dual zippers excellent sole official Harley Davidson oil resistant. $25 -- at thrift store.  Let me know if you want me to pick them up for her.
