Weekly Report from Boulder
Happy Halloween and happy birthday to all the scorpios out there!

I took a few days off at the end of last week. Thursday was spent mostly in Denver where I had a meeting with folks at the Denver Art Museum. I've been consulting with them on African Music for the museum expansion to open next year. This is a really fun project and I've been enjoying working with them on it and watching their enthusiasm grow for African music. It looks as if Denver's art museum will take some huge leaps forward with this new space! Not to mention that this will be a great leap forward for Denver architecturally as Daniel Libeskind, designer of the Freedom Tower to go up at the World Trade Center site, has designed it.

No Halloween parties for me over the weekend. I spent a few days at the Shambhala Mountain Center up near Red Feather Lakes for a yoga retreat. This was my second one and it's really a great getaway. I feel very blessed to have found a teacher with whom I really like working and she made the weekend very special.

Lots of folks I know in the hospital last week for surgery and various things. Best wishes and good health to all!
