The Past Weekend

This past weekend my Brothers Bill and Tim visited to help cut down several of the many dead trees I have on my property. The highlight of our efforts was landing our last tree between the Toyota Forerunner and our Minivan, both of which are slated to be crushed or donated to charity. Bill, with his trusty video camera was ready to record an "America's Funniest Home Video" moment but alas the tree landed safely. I believe we managed to cut and split about two to two and a half cords of wood.

It was also a good running weekend with a five miler on Saturday and an eight plus on Sunday morning. Perfect running for me, cool with fog and mist floating around.

Sunday afternoon was spent at the Tibetan Meditation Center for the first of ten classes of "Buddha 101". At the end of the first session, during the questions and answers, a woman asked how she might address those in her family who are convinced she going to hell for taking these classes. Though I know very little about Buddhism, what I gleaned  from the first class leads me to believe that there would be little conflict to most organized religions. 

Amazing how many people are willing to wallow in ignorance.
