Front Page Photo: Foreigners Play Holi


Yes, we've made the paper again. This time we were captured playing holi, the holiday involving bonfires and dusting with brightly colored powders. The ritual purpose is to drive out evil, which I needed, so good can triumph. It's a Hindu spring ritual. That's our friend Gregg Jameson, an archeologist Fulbright student scholar, who's here working on his dissertation project. It turns out he needed to have evil driven out, too. I'll leave it to the other members of our family to comment on personal evil removal.

  1. Glad to hear of things going well. You look well but blotchy. Here all efforts to hold back spring may be in vain. The last icicle on the gutter can no longer be found.
