As of this afternoon, March 24, there is one week to go in the month-long kickstarter campaign to publish my new illustrated book, White Flour, and wait ’til you hear the news!  Here’s the scoop: Thank you!

What you did in Guatemala in 2011

This is the year-end letter to PEG donors telling them where their money went. I thought I’d share it with the rest of you, too. At the end of the year, it’s powerful to look back and see what has happened.

Teleprompters, Translation and a Tie

…I couldn’t help but be aware of how much my life has changed in the last few years. Last week I flew to San Diego to speak at a Rotary International Assembly. It was a bit heady for me. Not only my first time with a teleprompter and six-language simultaneous translation, but I was an […]

To reach […]

Looking Back, Looking Forward

As many of us do this time of year, I looked back over 2011 recently, and I was amazed to see all that had happened. Some of it has been hard and some has been thrilling, but I definitely feel alive. I was theoretically taking it easier this year in order to work at the […]

Update from Guatemala

I have been in or on a pretty amazing array of motorized vehicles in the last 24 hours, from public buses (a.k.a. ‘chicken buses,’ retired school buses from the US, often painted up in classic Latin style, but sometimes with the names of American counties still painted on the side) to a taxi with half […]

Playing with Pete

I’m honored to get to share the stage with Pete Seeger, David Amram and other fine people in New York City this Sunday afternoon, on the tenth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.  I can think of no better way to spend that day, or people with whom to spend it.  The event will honor […]
