High altitude affable affiliations. (aflac!)

On the left, Jimpa dilligently reads National Geographic to broaden his horizons. What a model citizen!

To his right, Tsering indulges himself in a life of sin and vice. What a scumbag!

Just kidding, both fellows depicted here are most excellent friends and superb individuals! We pass our spare minutes (Lordy, I have so few these days!) shooting the breeze, drinking lassis and playing chess. Tsering is a brilliant writer; we hope his novel - The Tear, the heart wrenching chronicle of his exodus from Tibet - will someday be published in America. Our dear friend in the ol' Red White and Blue, Maura Elford, is helping him master the mystical art of English writing. Jimpa has many amazing childhood tales of his experiences as a monk, and soon, we hope he will travel to a wildlife reserve in Canada, eh?
