This morning I had a wonderful time with several artists from the Tucson area. They meet for breakfast every week. It was great to connect real people to some of those little icon photos that I've been conversing with online.

While it was a great time, I - once again - feel like I talked too much, and didn't do enough listening. When we get together next time, I'll make an effort to listen more and take interest in what others are doing. If I'm not careful, I'll even cross the line into gossip - although some don't consider what I say gossip, it feels that way to me.

Looks like we'll be meeting for a very early walk in Sabino Canyon next week. This is one of my favorite places on earth. I'll include a couple of photos here. There's a year round stream, stone bridges that were built in the 1930's, 3 vegetation zones with giant deciduous trees near the stream - then saguarhos on the hillsides and then it's topped off with beautiful cliffs. If one is not up to walking the canyon, there is a tram that takes visitors from one end to the other.
