I just spent an excellent three days with five friends: Joe, Joe, Jim, Greg and Robyn. Joe lives in Saratoga, Joe lives in Binghamton, Jim lives in Queens, and Greg and Robyn will be moving to NYC together in a few weeks.
The weather was perfect, which doesn't always happen.
The moon smiled and rose from behind Mt. Mansfield, the highest of the Green Mountains in Vermont, as five of us paddled canoes and kayaks or rowed in boats on the calm waters of the lake beneath a starry sky.
We had an adventure to the public wilderness of the island I had first visited alone, but have since celebrated with friends many times. We brought kindling and wood for a fire, some beers, and even some tea to heat with a camp stove and enjoy around the campfire above the waters and beneath the stars. We enjoyed the thirty minute peaceful float amidst the Milky Way, across the waters to the cabin, where we played games and listened to music with a fire in the fireplace.
We shared meals, took turns cleaning dishes and organizing supplies, laughed, talked about ideas, shared knowledge, shared our stories, caught up with our lives, and had an overall great time.
We even repaired my muffler thanks to the expertise of my friend, a new father as of this year.
Everyone gave to the group.
We enjoyed a stunning ride through the sunny Adirondack Mountains, having driven through those same mountains days earlier under cover of darkness and starlight, accompanied by the roar of a muffler that would scare a fifty foot grizzly bear.
We arrived at our various homes.
I taught five classes today. I will teach five tomorrow.
The summer continues commencement with the gifts of Hiromi's shows.
