yoga classes & fun stuff

my hosts in oakland were thees lovely couple, pete and wren.  it's always a beautiful sigh to cavort with wren.

me fav pizza in this planet of R's.  the cheeseboard co-op. http://cheeseboardcollective.coop/Pizza%20Collective/PizzaPage.html
yup, no boss or managers. worker-owned.  the dough is fabulous sourdough.  there is one vegetarian pizza choice, changing daily.  never disappointing, words do not describe, bien sur. tuesday's pizza was:  Roma Tomatoes, Red Onions, Mozzarella Cheese, Feta Cheese, Lemon Zest, Lemon Juice, Cilantro, Garlic Olive Oil.  simple, sprightly, and savory.

this is me with wren and pete's children.  or at least one of them is officially their child.  

and this is my lovely cousin, azusa seyama, from takasaki-shi, gunma-ken, lately of wuppertal germany.  彼女の踊りがすばらしかった。でも私がいたから、あずさがきんちょしていた。this is us having a drink after the troupe performed Ten Chi (2 hrs and 45 frickin satiating mins.) http://www.pina-bausch.de/  i feel so close to azusa and her family.  they were my 'host family' when i was ten.  and our mothers are close sisters.  the company, Pina Bausch..., will be Japan in the next year, march into april. 是非行ってください！！they kick butt!  the performance in berkeley was a wonderful combination of accessible power and showmanship, and also subtle, gnarly and hilarious. いとこちゃんすげええかっこいい！！
