Fage yogurt -- it's the best. I'm inspired by my two books of poetry, Mary Oliver's latest, "Evidence," and Mark Doty's collection, "Fire to Fire." Can't wait to check out Yoav. Nan Yeah! Fage yogurt — it’s the best.

This is a great blog entry. I love hearing about you as a teenager. The big trick in working with teenagers is to identify with them and yet be here now. You are on to something about holding the past and the present at the same time. Nan You’re right. This is a great blog entry. I love hearing about you as a teenager.

I think what you do is really unusual and your engagement for children is important. I really like the blog and will follow. Things that should be large: Humor, courage and motobikes.

What a great blog entry. I am so fascinated by India. A close friend of mine "commuted" between Delhi and NYC for several years - she lived there like 6 months out of the year and I heard many wonderful stories. I will add yours to my repository of "living vicariously through others" knowledge! Yes, running is a great way to see a city. I treasured my runs around Rome when I was living there so long ago. I loved your significant details and reactions to your environment. A day with butter chicken, a quiet walk in the garden and hot stone massages sounds blissful. I look forward to your other posts! Things that should be large: a person's capacity to love, grow and change; a tendency towards compassion; laughter. LOL! What a great blog entry. I am so fascinated by India.
