Last minute workshop in Indonesia creates culture shift0 (0)
Festive greetings! Maizi here again and I’m patiently waiting for my human, Steve to return from his tour of Asia. Hold on, there’s the door… …Nah, it was another cardboard package that keeps arriving from that big river in Brazil. I’m amazed they don’t get wet.

“Be aware of the shadow you leave…”0 (0)
That’s this mysterious phrase that Steve and Ann told me about the other day. At first I thought it was because my shadow was like the wolf from “An American Werewolf In London” (he was one of my relatives, very sad business, but that’s another story…) on one sunny late summer evening walk.
