Listening to a group meditation on the tonight's program on www.marianne.com (which is up for a another 65 hours or so), she encouraged us to think of the applications of her message to our personal lives and the wider public situations and relationship we are each experiencing. I have been thinking about the last few decades of my own life, and realize 'if I'd known then what I know now' I might have done some things differently.

Okay, so I saw a photo of buffalo crossing the street at the art show at St. Joseph's College in Brooklyn NY. The show, Expressions: SJC Faculty & Staff is in the Alumni Room Gallery in Tuohy Hall on the Brooklyn NY Campus.

Overall a delightful show visually, with special times to meet the artists (including Feb. 16th from 1-3pm with a dessert reception.) Now for the gem of a fellow named Neil, he's for real and deserves a lot of applause for his steadfast, almost super-human efforts to keep everyone informed about what's happening on the music scene in Brooklyn (and Not Only Brooklyn) NY.
