Lent: give up giving up

forty days is such an important spiritual number, which makes me feel like Lent is actually something that is mystical in Christianity. And this year, Ash Wednesday fell on Meher Baba's birthday. Not that I think that means anything.
Happy 115th birthday to Meher Baba



Oh Meher Prukesh (the narrator) so sweet!!

So here we go Lent!! I am not giving up pushups, French and most importantly Banji!!!!!

Brozone Layer

We all know that I love Fry and Laurie, in whatever context.

I am so happy to share this very funny sketch, knowing full well, that it is funnier when I have been in Dude land or the brozone for a good long time.

The Best Show

I released my album.  I's and mine's aside, Jon and Michael (and Knorr!!) put themselves into making this project truly shine, and then had the humility to step back and let me accept the applause.  Here are some images from a few different amazing photographers: Russ Tumash, Lydia See, Ada Stephens, Sandlin Gaither, and I might have taken one or two.

Starts with the new disc!

Then we get ready for the big show.

Then we pose for pictures in front of the Grey Eagle, because we are all so good looking.

Then we just give it around 1,000%


Then Badger watches

Linnea (my best friend and high school roommate) and I tore the pages out of Life magazine and taped them on our dorm room wall. They were pages from a photo journalistic piece on Albinism called "redefining Beauty."

I guess this might have been the beginning of a journey towards unveiling my own beauty.  I fight an inner fight against albinism every day, but sometimes it makes me smile.  Watching this video made me smile.
