In this issue: -Wisdom for the new Millennium ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following precepts are purported to be authored by the Dalai Lama, which is unlikely, but they are worth reading: 1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. 2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. 3. Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, respect for others, responsibility for all your actions. 4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. 5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. 6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. 7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. 8. Spend some time alone every day. 9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. 10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. 11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back you'll be able to enjoy it a second time. 12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. 13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past. 14. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality. 15. Be gentle with the earth. 16. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before. 17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. 18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. 19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon. I have been working on the new Profiles and just now am doing the
London section where I see that Chas, who has shared so much with us
lately on the list, turned (is turning) 32 today, January 23, 2001.
It is a bit after 7:00 p.m. here in California, Chas, so we are not
too late at all. You, of course, are snug in bed no doubt, and hopefully
not alone!!!!! It is after 3:00 in the morning in London so maybe you
are partying at the City of Montreal, one of the great "wrinkles" bars
of the world, and perhaps you've caught the eye of a randy silverfox.
Good luck, young man! The graygay Bar (nicer than "wrinkle" bar) used to be called The City of Quebec - now changed to just The Quebec but it's still the best of it's type in Europe. Close but no banana! Pewit, Editor of the
Gray Gay Guide Anyone lucky enough to live near a thriving Chinese community should
hit the streets this weekend and enjoy the departure of the Year of
the Dragon and the arrival of the Year of the Snake. Out here in Northern
California, San Francisco's mega-Chinatown (40 square blocks of teemng
Asian life) will be ablaze with colorful banners, noisy with firecrackers
and shaking under the feet of mostly male dragon dancers of all ages.
The Year of the Dragon is on the way out, and the Year of the Snake
is on its way in. Attached is a picture of a Chinese man kissing a dragon
for luck last year. Hmmm. Doesn't that imply that kissing a snake would
be the way to go this year? Drop your pants for the Snake Kissing Festival,
gents! Lots of luck! OOPS! I looked again. It was good luck to RUB NOSES with a dragon in that picture. Well, I guess that means in this Year of the Snake we can only earn the blessing of good luck by RUBBING a snake. Hmmmm. Attached is a picture of a Chinese silverfox passing a shop with blessings. Start rubbing, fellas!
