I've been down deep in the processing sea, focused inward for what seems like a very long time. Now the spring weather feels like it's reaching in and cracking open my shell.

At work I'm gearing up for Musketaquid Earth Day on May 3. Coordinating this event is a big part of my job. Anyone want to come play? I would love to have more drummers for the ( Read more... )

You hope never to have to use the Heimlich maneuver, but boy am I glad I knew what to do. This morning Kaylin choked on something he was eating, and couldn't breathe. A smack on the back didn't help, and as he got more panicked so did I, but I knew what to do. I began doing the  Heimlich maneuver while Jimi called 911. It seemed like it took ( Read more... )

Over 100 people showed up for the last Drum and Dance Saturday in Cambridge on Saturday, December 15, 2007. There was a wonderful mix of old friends and new faces; at the middle circle, more than ten people raised their hand when asked “how many people are here for the first time?” Then - “how many people are here for the last time?” We all looked ( Read more... )

Here's the letter we posted on the EDC web site about the end of Drum and Dance Saturday in Cambridge. I'll write more soon about Saturday night, it was really great.

Dear friends,

Saturday, December 15, 2007 is the last Earth Drum Council-sponsored Drum and Dance Saturday in Cambridge. Drum and Dance Saturday had been going for ten years when Bob ( Read more... )

Yep, we're actually letting go of it. Drum and Dance Saturday in Cambridge, I mean. Next Saturday night, Dec. 15th, will be our annual Winter Solstice Drum and Dance, and the last one that Jimi and I will be organizing. We are letting the lease on the First Church space go, the one we've had for 17 years (plus a year at the Old Cambridge Baptist ( Read more... )

Oy. I just found out the head gasket on my car is busted, probably a $1,000 repair. Plus I already knew I needed a new radiator, for a few hundred dollars more. This car is a 1984 model, I've already replaced the timing belt and was hoping to keep it on the road for a few more years. My mechanic says it's probably worth it to fix this car, I ( Read more... )

It keeps going a million miles an hour. This weekend is the Basic Drum Circle Facilitators Training with Arthur Hull here in Concord. And Arthur is staying with us *for a week*. I really love him and it's been beyond awesome to spend this time with him. But no matter who it is, it's stressful to have anyone in your house for a week, and if you know ( Read more... )
