For those of you that are into Budhism, I would really like to tell you about the Great Vow Zen Monastary in Clatskanie, OR. It is a great place to learn, or to just find some peace and quite. A walk around the grounds on a nice spring day will totally recharge your batteries. Also, one of the founders has written a very moving and educational book about Jizo Bodhisattva. Jizo is very important in Japanese culture, and is also in other asian coutries, but not as strongly as in Japan. If you get a chance, please visit the monastary, or even just check out there web site. There really doing some great things there, and can use all the support they can get.

He's so cute when you tickle his belly and he giggles! By the way, nice blog you hypocrite! You like the open, freedom of speech, but you would rather live in Japan? I’m sure they would love another plump American to through in the slammer for the use of speech that differs from what they believe in! I’m not bashing the Japs, I mean their tough! I’ve seen several Dragon-Ball-Z episodes! HAHAHAHAHAHhhh, Love havin ya here bri!!

Sorry about the spelling, my secratary was deflated, and it's hard to type with one hand. Get your mind out of the gutter, that's not what I meant!!!!
