and a happy co-opted pagan festival to you as well! 
it was pretty amazing. about five different Greek pastries that I can't pronounce or remember. Pasachio (kinda Greek lasagna), home made sausages, feta cheese....Melanie brought yummy vegan cupcakes. house was full of people, which tends to put me a little on edge, but it was a pretty good crowd.
Hope your days are as fun. I envy you yourself with your China adventures.

Right on, that's interesting that you've practiced before. I like how oriental artforms are all about following a certain ideal form, yet still value the character of the artist who produced the work. I'm hoping to get back into the workshop and make some metal works based upon the suiseke images I've found online. What would you be working on if you had the setting available to you? also, I hope you're feeling good again, take it easy.

I just the cards. Do you think I can get a link to where you post them?
