My Tree of Life friend were going to meet up tomorrow but maybe it won't happen, he is sweet and floaty and so I don't have any expectations. I was planning on going alone anyway--a talk at Namgyal Buddhist Center, the Dalai Lama's North American place. "Eight stanzas for training the mind" by Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche.
I met some bikers, finally, at the coop. They thought I was cool because I ride a fixed gear, it's so funny. One guy had seen it several times, actually, he knew my bike! I was given suggestions for snow tires (the studded ones) or mountain bike tires for the snow. Why is everyone always so concerned about the snow? You just tell yourself you have to do it and you manage fine. And maybe end up walking your bike if it's really bad. But maybe I will meet up with some of them Sat, there is a benefit or something somewhere (great memory I have). They are the punk-type bikers. The kind that usually are too cool for me. I was dressed like a snowwoman and not cool at all, but I guess my bike was good enough. Or maybe they are just nice.
A lady at the coop read my pulse--TCM. She said it was good and slow, indicating that I am often cold. Very minor kidney stuff. For some reason I thought she should find more that is wrong with me--maybe she can't go deep enough. She was very nice though and we had an interesting conversation.
Growing sprouts--lentils and mung beans are very successful and consistent. Am trying fenugreek. Ooh! Need to try quinoa--I did it before but they spoiled. Apparently they only soak for one hour (vs overnight or all day) and then you drain them. So I oversoaked them by a lot--will try again.
Lots of work to get back to...
