Still hoping to a weekly sangha, a place of retreat and recharge. One that you can show up when you want to be there.  No need to RSVP. 

I will post notes on general topics covered. 

Hope to have weeks focused on the discussion of ideas and other weeks devoted to discussion and/or practive of skills.

New Cart Color Brainstorms

It's time for one of my favorite projects: building a new cart.  I surveyed folks and there were a lot of votes for an orange cart.   I found an affordable hot dog style umbrella, but I have been having a hard time seeing if I could match a nice color with it. In the images below, you will see the 2014 NYC cart, followed by two sketches for the 2016 cart.  Look decent?  Horrible?  Email comments or post them below.

Thanks, 
Doug
