I miss you Mom! I trust that you have gone to a better place.
Born December 21, 1931 to Harry and Mildred Howard, Noel lived most of her 76 years in Palos Verdes Estates where she was actively involved in schools and city administration. She was a cheerful woman who put the needs of others before herself, always smiling and saying, "thank you." She loved dogs and hummingbirds, irises and carnations. She had genuine human awareness, and her lively energy brought joy to all who knew her. She passed away Sunday February 3, 2008 at UCLA Medical Center in the loving presence of her sons Lee and Brett Garrett, and her husband of almost 50 years Glen Garrett. Donations can be made on her behalf to Peninsula Friends of the Library.

My dear canine companion Hwafo passed away on Thursday, October 18, 2007.
She died peacefully, with my hands comforting her as she departed this world.
I miss her terribly.

Esalen Massage
I am "almost" certified in Esalen Massage, having recently
taken a training course in Palo Alto. I'm not quite ready
to start another business, but I am thinking about doing
massage to raise funds for charity. I plan to post more
about this shortly!
Guitar
I haven't been practicing much lately, but I do like to play.
When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be a folksinger, and
occasionally I still dream of creating some truly beautiful
music in the years to come.
Some of my early songwriting attempts are
here
and here.
Election Reform
I am very concerned about the reliability of the election
process here in the United States. Scandals are coming out
almost daily, with little attention from the mainstream
press. If you care about democracy, I implore you to read
some of the great information at
Brad Blog.

Sorry, too many other priorities!
