High in Colorado!

What a wonderful gathering we had in Denver. The Denver teachers were superb hosts, making us feel welcomed and running the conference so effortlessly. Many special events of enrichment and joy were shared–the morning T’ai Chi Chih practice, sharing ways to teach TCC, Justin’s thorough discussion of the movements, Steve’s drumming and the candlelight ritual on Saturday night were some of the high moments I will savor in the months to come. THANK YOU, everyone.

As some of you know, the Colorado “high” was too much for my “sea level” body. My problems with altitude got worse Sunday morning and I didn’t get to say my usual farewell to new friends and old. After many phone calls from TCC friends, the plan to drive home materialized and Monday, Darlene Ross came to take me home over the lower passes (only 7,000 ft!) up through Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada.

Blessings came when I was able to get a tank of oxygen in Rock Springs, WY. We took two tanks in the car, and Wow! I felt great! We had a very nice trip home, a three-day smooth drive back to California. The scenery is expansive and majestic and no billboards! When the Conference is held again in Denver, I will know what to do….get O-two!

Greetings to all of you who helped me at the Conference–Vic, Vicki, Carol, Esther, Darlene, Pat, Corine-and others.
