years. We had our differ-

were wrong. Or visa versa.
Today we laid our swords
on the ground and hugged.

How do we accumulate

do we really need?

Not Much!

Fermi on Measurement



I read the Fermi talked about
how measurement becomes more
critical as [the] distinction becomes
less between things.

Here are two men. They
are identical twins. One is
a winner and the other a
loser. Why?

Sharing Computers



My wife & I thought we
could share our first computer
in 1984. It only worked for a
few months until we realize
d that we needed "separate but
equal" machines.

Mine    Mine

2 pt. perspective

Since right now we are traveling and don't have an internet connection and only have one computer... she said, "it doesn't feel like we are sharing yet."

Almost No Wireless Anymore



All day I've been mess-

Close but no cigar, that is.

More on Cezanne's ?Death?



My sister thought Cezanne
was dead, confusing him w/
both Mikaelangelo & Pablo.

Reports of
my demise
are gr-

eatly exagerat-
ed. My
art lives.

I was listening to the audio recording at the Cezanne exhibit and one of the people speaking on the recording (the curator of the exhibit) was also there in the gallery taking through a couple of rich folks. I listened to his voice on both the recording and in the gallery at the same time.

Visiting Cezanne



I went to see Cezanne,
the man who leaped to
modern times.

I heard the audio recording at the museum. The curator who was speaking on the recording was taking around a very rich man and his wife. So I heard two sides of him. Very eerie.

My grandson takes command of my Palm.


Simon Deschamps

I visited Kim and his son in Philadelphia and drew this quickly on his Palm Pilot. (And a few hours later Simon (age 12) started his own blog: http://1picaday-simon.blogspot.com)

Here's why I retired . . . (exclusive)



I retired so I'd wake up one day &
wonder what I was going to do.
That was over one million seconds
ago, and still it hasn't happened.

Austin is Wierd



I didn't know what to do.
I moved to a city that is of
music so much so that the ground
vibrates from so much bass. I
like (loud) music (not) . . . Almost as much as
quiet.

Austin is wierd.

Shut Up!

I can ear U!

(Note: Every band worthy of calling themselves a band
is here in Austin for a festival. When I started the drawing
the ground shook. Yesterday I was trying to meditate and
the ground shook. My wife was driving down the street
today and the ground shook. It ain't good for the ground
to shook so much!)

(Note 2: When I wrote note one it was quiet, but now
I hear drums again. AND IT IS BEDTIME! 11 PM ALMOST.
Don't they know what Ben Franklin said... "early to ..."
Oh, that's better. They are quiet now.)

No More Expression



So my new goal is to no
longer express myself but
rather to reflect the
world.

Reflections on Talks on Buddha's Lists

During a recent Appamada Intensive our students gave talks on Buddha's lists. Here are my reflections on their talks.
