lo ladies

 It's been a week of Lo Ladies. First Keri Pickett showed up in town touting "First Daughter and the Black Snake," about Winona LaDuke's battle against an oil pipeline through native lands. And then Dorothy Reilly and I got together with Miriam Poser for her  eighty-eighth birthday. She is 20 years older than I am. When we met about this time of year in 1992, trekking to Lo Monthang, Miriam was younger than I am now. We, of course, thought she was old. Now she really is—and so am I!
