The winter quarter is a time of death and hibernation - a time for serious self-reflection and hard work. In harmony with this season, we attended a 10-day Vipassana meditation at a center in Texas, then on to several weeks of working on That that is Thesis and the portrait for Garrett’s Bar Mitzvah.... We spent time on the Gulf of Mexico, first in Texas then into Florida. We to attended the Langerado Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale in early March, and hung out with Dad and Sue while they soaked up the sun in the Keyes.  We brought in the Spring season at Manatee Springs before attending Garrett’s Bar Mitzvah in Tampa.
