Kekene II
Vado Diomande, a dance and drum teacher at the djoniba dance studio, where I study haitian and congolese dance, had a performance with his dance company, Kotchegna ...the costumes, the drumming, the dancing, the energy...superb! The stilt dancing amazes me every time...

Her Story at Symphony Space
In the evening we went to Symphony Space to see this show, the music and dancing was beautiful!
"Her Story" portrays the lives of four women in Indian mythology - Kaikeyi, Devaki, Kannaki, and Aandaal. Recounting pivotal moments in the lives of these women, the dancers explore how these characters transformed the worlds they lived in through their ability to love unconditionally. History has judged these protagonists -- condemning, glorifying, questioning, and revering these women for their actions; however, in "Her Story", the dancers reinterpret these conventional perceptions and portray these epic personalities as women willing to challenge the world for those they love.

me and snowboarding, together again...
I forget how much I truly love to snowboard---until I get out there again---even if it's only in the poconos... I think it is one of the most fantastic-fabulous things to do.

This Sleepover
My nephew, Kiefer, and bestest friend's son, Kai, (he mine as well be my nephew too) eat pizza, brownie sundaes, popcorn, build pillow forts, play wi, record some noise rock, hunt for treasures, climb trees, etc...
We've been planning "this sleepover" for quite some time. In fact so long, that last May Kai asked, "So, when ARE we having THIS SLEEPOVER???"
So alas, Kiefer and Kai are reunited! Long lost BFFs.
