fathers day

am just back from san jose. steve is doing poorly. very poorly. i will go back in two weeks ~ either to help martha or to bury steve. what a difficult time.

wifeys dear friend died of a brain tumor in san jose last night. what kind of coincidence is that? poor thing, wifey is beside herself.

cant get ahold of billy ~ hes in cedar rapids (iowa) where the flooding is twelve feet high... he has a house full of art... and his family is there.

i finished the feng shui book. its decent. i will upload some slight corrections sometime soon. i will have a class on feng shui on saturday but the time/place/event confirmation came too late to do a newsletter... and nobody is signed up for it yet... so it might be a sparse summer solstice...

the body of water film had more problems than ever. and since i was gone last week i wont see any changes until wednesday night. this has been going on long enough. elizabeth has been making slow but steady progress on the body of water book and will be finished with the inserts soon. but she will go to indiana or illinois or some godawful "i" place for a month and i will get even less work out of her!!! something needs to be completed soon.

i am beginning to translate poetry into chinese. i will try to meet this week with a translator to check my work. really, its amazing what lengths will i go to to not write my cookbook.

but i had a wonderful fathers day with my daughter. we had breakfast with my mother and mary then went to look for rabbits, fairies, and ducks. every crowd has a silver lining.
