... ourselves that even if we were inclined to try to make them true it could never happen. "How could I ever...?" instead of "What can I do to make this happen?" We forget that the reason those dreams are so beautiful and powerful is that they were created by a mind and heart that knew no bounds or limits or rules. The reason that we regret not doing something is because reason disables us from thinking beyond our bounds. Older people always talk ...

I had made many a trips to Big Bear during the snowboarding season being that it is really the only place you can do a day trip from Vegas. However a few times we got the luxury of having a place to crash for the night. Only Teresa and I would somehow manage to be able to make a crash pad out of Oscar de la Hoyas Big Bear cabin and training compound. The two of us and usually 15 or so of the worlds best fighters under one roof..... we consider ourselves very lucky ladies :)

This won't be a long or enormously interesting entry, but I thought I'd start at the beginning anyway! I'm half-packed and gearing up for a drastic weather change. I've been enjoying the temps in the 60's and 70's in Redlands, and am in for quite a shock when I reach Bangkok. It will be around 85 degrees and quite humid ...

... shortly after speaking to my Cousin Adele on the phone. Aunt Adele is my mother's older sister - she turned 93 on November 26th - my Mom turned 89 on November 27th. Over the years, we've had a number of parties to celebrate these vibrant ladies - the most recent birthday gathering was at Thanksgiving of '04, when Adele tured 90 - it was a great affair, with cousins from all over ...

As many of you have heard on the news, California was pretty hard hit by winds and rain the last three days. We did have 3 days (and nights) of heavy rain here, including a bit of sleet last night. But today was one of those breathtaking days that only happen after a big storm. At every turn was another unbelievably beautiful, bright white, snow-covered mountain against the crisp ...

... drove out to Cousins Amy and Drew's house in Hollywood for their annual "Trim the Tree" open house party. There's always a house full of interesting people, fantastic food and drink. It's always fun to look around and try to recognize the actors and actresses that drop in. The highlight for me, this year, was meeting Marion Ross ...

... commonly given the honor of seeing their parents shot or tortured in front of them by soldiers under the control of a corrupt and violent government. I get to go to Liberia. I'm excited. I'm not so sure that I should be excited. Part of me thinks that I should be downcast, that I should face this experience with sadness knowing that tragedy will be all around me in the lives of the children ...

... through the hordes of schookids who didn't seem to like to form an orderly queue); that final bus trip to within half an hour's walk to the airport; our last rebuff to a taxi driver - who was cheekily asking $15 from us to go that final leg; and the hot and sweaty walk to the airport.....and we were at our final destination 57 days after we arrived in Panama City. The airport was quite amusing in that it wasn't much more than an airfield. Jon didn't have to check any luggage in as ...
