Kennedy Center Millenium Stage Performance

Contradiction Dance invited us to perform on the Kennedy Center Millenium Stage with them last April.

Ahmed and I wrote a song which they choreographed. We then also performed these two other original compositions written for the occasion: "Aoutar" and "Risha".



Here is the full 1-hour long podcast of the whole dance performance.

Back from Colombia

We're back from a terrific vacation under the warm Colombian sun,
"where the only risk is wanting to stay."
This picture sums up a lot of things about our trip:

Eggies in a Basket

This fast, easy and scrumptious breakfast has become a staple at home.
I usually melt a thin slice of cheddar on top for extra deliciousness.
Fresh coarsely ground pepper is a must.

'gotta love all the different names for it:
egg in a window, egg in the hole, pirate's eye, toad in the hole, Adam and Eve on a raft, bird's nest, bull's eye, cave entrance, camel's eye, eagle eye, egg castorini, egg in a blanket, egg in a frame, egg in a hat and a coat, egg in bed, egg inside of a hollowed-out piece of bread, eggy toast, eye of the beholder, gaslight eggs, hobo toast, hole-in-one, lidless eye, nest egg, o'johnnies, plus-three bullet of smiting, submarine egg, sun's drop of dew, victory egg, Rocky Mountain toast, toaster spurtals...

and my faves: yolky pokey, egg-holey-o!

I'm forever thankful to Mr. Franklin C. for cooking my friend Brett and I our first encounter with this dish many years ago.

mmmmm eggies!
