Wow what a season so far. I worked the Willamette Coin collector show last weekend. Then yesterday was an event at the Ngoc Son Buddhist Temple. I was hired to guard a visitor. The Head Monk from Canada is doing a fifty state tour of the US. He is the only one wearing brown not orange in the photos. It was a great honor. As I was standing posted next to him at the lunch table. He asked me to join them for their meal. They got a chair for me and I ate right behind him. I'm so completely grateful for these rare opportunities. I've worked events at this Temple many times over the years. I look forward to many more.
