  Shout-out to a Fellow Promoter of Zen
One of my college roommates, Timothy Tompkins, is the head of the Times Square Business Improvement District here in Manhattan. Back in 2003, Tim came up with the slightly bizarre idea of holding a yoga class in the middle of Times Square. The first time he staged it, there were all of two people present—Tim an an instructor.

Well, they did it again yesterday, to mark the summer solstice. And guess what? 800 people signed up.....

Nice work, Tim.

There's a new one for my list of unwitting oxymorons.

"Promoter of Zen."



"PEOPLE, people, if only I could get you to understand! Listen to me! Don't you SEE? Suffering only comes from DESIRE!!! You've gotta let GO, man! Why can't I get THROUGH you to people?"
