In linear time and contemplative time, Carolyn runs Turning Point Educational Services (www.turning-point-edu.com), treks with muddy little Buddy in the Oakland hills, sings of a Friday night at the San Francisco Folk Music Club, and (quietly!) eats popcorn with her husband at the New York Met’s Saturday morning opera movie broadcasts in Emeryville. For now, she’s boxed the middle grade novel and fools with water color instead.
