I went with Billy to the liquor store and bought mint mocha khalua to make martinis on the 24th and a bottle sparkling white for tonight as mimosas.  We met one person, lori ann, along the way. And a chinese looking stranger going down the same path as us. 

The mantra of compassion Om mani pémé hung is being chanted 108 times on the album. I recited 108, one mala or tibetan rosary, of the perfection mantra Om muni muni mahamuni soha earlier for the health of everyone.
