I moved here in May after 32 years on the Arkansas/
Oklahoma border. I love this town and already
feel quite at home here. There is an amazing
vibration here, to which I am happily contributing.
I am a tournament Scrabble player, so I was quite
pleased to find a couple of other tourneygoers here,
forming the core of an official Scrabble club that
meets Sundays at the Heartsong Chai Hut.

Scrabble, collecting jazz recordings, watching documentaries

Have I mentioned Scrabble yet? Travelling and
interacting with creative friends. Reading my
poetry at venues where people understand creative
poetic composition. I also host the only jazz show on www.radioksoc.net . It is the best jazz radio show on the west coast!

The silence from which sound springs.

The swinging lotus.
