I have no idea what you are planning on doing Dave but I feel like if Covid has taught us anything this past year is to not have regrets. And if that means you travel to Tibet, that's what you should do. I probably wouldn't recommend tongue kissing (I assume you mean french kiss) a stranger unless you have some sort of permission and a negative PCR test from 15 minutes earlier.
I'll definitely read with interest any updates you send to the IC. -----Original Message-----

dan's right, though, i am definitely the most likely to die from the disease. ?or maybe not. i have history of infection and three shots of the super vaccine.
an update for the IC, i'm returning to india on Sunday and i don't have a definite plan to return. my activities there will be varied: i am first flying to hyderabad and i will attend a former coworker's?wedding in andhra pradesh, ?then i'm going to travel up to the buddhist pilgrimage sites in Bihar and uttar pradesh. from there i will head up to the tibetan colonies in himachal pradesh trying to link up with a guy called Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche (also known as the filmmaker Khyentse Norbu? ), with whom i have some important business.
dan thinks i've gone completely off the rails, i think, but it's important for me to point out that my close friends here who see me regularly don't feel the same way. i could explain what it is i'm going there to do but i kinda doubt you'd believe it entirely. but i will continue to keep the ic updated on whatever wild shit is happening with me. and if anyone is curious to hear a bit more i'd be glad to get into it but with the proviso that it will most likely include me talking about shit in unfamiliar ways. is that vague enough?
joe: godspeed is one word
dan: way to throw sandra under the bus
bloom: did you know that rhode island isn't actually an island
christian: your assessment of your covid prognosis is wrong
andrew: famous last words
todd: you didn't say anything interesting enough for a response
reechard: you should go out and tongue kiss a stranger on christmas
ho ho ho,
