From New Zealand

I am a blest man. Live, play and work 8 months a year in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Live and play 4 months a year in the Southern Hemisphere, Queenstown, New Zealand. Been coming to New Zealand for 16 years. next year will be 17 years!
Have watched New Zealand evolve from a very small socialistic country into a very capitalistic open society and I must say I like it very much. My great great grandfather came to New Zealand on a Mormon Mission before 1900!!!! God, possibly I have relatives all over the place, after all Mormon's did practice POLYGAMY and the Maori women and men are attractive people. From my piano studio window I see a view that rivals any view on this planet! Lake Wakitipu and the majestic mountains that surround its shores. Lord of the Rings was filmed here.
I arrive in country on January 28 and leave April 28 of each year. Each year I set goals that I hope to achieve during my time of bliss and self-discovery here in NZ. I have almost 6 weeks left to loose some of the "muffin top" around my stomach, finish composing two new songs and polish two Beethoven Sonatas for performance as well as finish reading about 20 new books I had sent down!
I must step outside and throw a kiss to the moon and stars before I head to bed. One thing that is a marvelous gift from "down under" is the SOUTHERN CROSS! We cannot see it in the northern heavens!
Love and Light, Brenthoven
