The single greatest little isle in the Caribbean, Dominican Republic, I love it!!!

I've spent the last approximately 48 hours in the Dominican Republic!! I can still hardly believe it. It feels a little bit like New York, because of all the Dominicans, a little bit like San Diego, because of the beach, and a little bit like Europe, because there are lots of Eurpoeans and I'm sort of hosteling and backpacking. Oh my goodness, though, the water is so clear I can't even believe it. It's amazing to be able to see everything all around you when you swim! I want to do some more snorkeling, for sure. And check out the authentic salsa/meringue etc. That's what I'm talking about. Cheers. Lisa

What Good Would the Moon Be

This is a video from my recent cabaret at Don't Tell Mama. The quality is a bit watered down, so I will see if I can get something with a little more fidelity. I loved performing at Don't Tell Mama! The venue was beautiful, and the staff there were helpful and kind. What a wonderful way to start my New York Cabaret career :)

A Kiss

Last week I was walking home from the fireside where the ambassador from Fiji had been our speaker. The evening had been was fantastic. With my stomach full of carrot cake, my hands full of flowers, and my head full of music, I walked out the door of the church with Duane, whom I had just met and who'd done a fabulous job helping us clean up. We strolled toward the A train, talking and laughing and getting to know each other a little bit. As we turned to say goodbye and give the little sideways face kiss thing, it was awkward with all I was carrying and we accidentally did a full-on lip kiss. Or more like our lips sort of giving each other a high-five. "Whoa!" I inadvertently blurted. Hmm, now what to do? What exactly do you say in a situation like that. I did a quick mind-search and took a stab at something. "um, let's try that again," I mumbled. He seemed all right with it. So I gave him a great big sideways kiss cheek thing. "Wow, thanks," he said. Our eyes locked.

My review

Love it. I'm amazed at all the housework and cooking these ladies did, and still had time to get an education. Wow.
