Kathmandu, Nepal.
Today started with a neat surprise. Namely: My face on
the front page of the paper. Which was sweet. But then
I turned to page 7, for the “Exclusive Interview”
and discovered this:
Oops. Note to self: No more talking about poop during interviews.
Later, I visited the home of Kumari, the Living Goddess.
But I didn’t photograph her, I promise. I did have a whole
lot of questions I wanted to ask, though.
Then I found some “common” women putting on make up
next to the elephant tusk case in a museum.
Lastly, I walked past a small shrine for people with toothaches.
Apparently, if you stop by and nail a coin to the wood,
the Gods will cure your toothache. Incidentally, the shrine
is near a dentist’s office. Just in case.

B’nai Shalom Poets
Phil and I recently performed and taught workshops at B’nai Shalom Day School. Some of the students worked on their own poems and sent us this video! I love when we visit a school that gets excited about poetry and then continues writing and building after we leave. Click the photo to see the video!
