I love lake Montebello. I love the people that are there,
the regulars and the unregulars that come and go the small and big and young
and old and every kind of person and family on feet and on wheels, I love them.
The trio of ladies with babies gossiping and waddling, the supercool woman with
retro rollerskates and clothes and disco moves circling around and around and
around, the ever-present and changing group of racing bikers zooming in their
formation like geese. I love the geese too, and the turtle we saw that one
time. My kids on their little bikes trucking around trying not to trip up the
racers and all the friendly smiles that fall on them and us. Lake Montebello
looks like Baltimore and it feels how I wish all Baltimore felt. I am most
hopeful about Baltimore, about Ferguson, about the United States of America,
about humanity, when at the Lake circling the water and the humanity that sustains
us.

perfect band name?
what would be a good name for a band of 16 year old musicians? my brother is in search of a band name, and i am working hard to help keep them hip. their ideas were all a little yanni-esque with words like "crystal" and "wind" (sorry bro, but its true). while eating left over party food i came up with: "seven layer teen dip", "chocolate chocolate chip", "recycled wonder", and "dont play nice". they suggested "frisky chickens", i said, how about just "frisky."
suggestions? there is something perfect right there, just beyond my reach...man, what is it?
