Tom was supposed to ‘appear’ electronically in Tehran on Christmas for a group of spinal rehab physios and doctors on Anatomy Trains and primary and secondary curves, but due to the burgeoning democracy over there, the government shut down the electronic alleyway through which he was supposed to appear. Says Tom: “Though I am a great supporter of the green revolution, I am sorry that this opportunity, slender as it was, to build bridges between the nation of Persia and the United States was curtailed by a government eager to control the flow of information.” We look forward to another time later in the game.

86′ed in Tehran
Thursday, December 31st, 2009High Tide in Clarks Cove
Friday, December 4th, 2009Those of you who have been here for classes or sessions know that we have 9-12′ of tide in Clarks Cove depending on the phase of the moon. Yesterday, the full moon tides combined with a 40mph south wind to drive the water up the river so high that the at the full flood the runways were going up from the pier to the dock, and the waves were coming up through the deck on the small cottage. The wind-driven waves on the top of the tide clawed at the banks, and the cove had a large brown streak where the eroded soil entered the ocean’s grip, where it will stay for a long time.
I am glad to say Kenny Lincoln’s repair job has strengthened the pier and it did not shake in the keening wind and curling chop.
