Taimane Gardner Wows Crowd Before Dalai Lama Speaks

By /
Taimane Gardner, a 21-year-old ukulele whiz, played the theme from Mission: Impossible and Stairway to Heaven, among other familiar tunes.  Leaping about the stage barefoot as she played, she blew the crowd away.

Interesting dietary note: I am told by someone who knows the Dalai Lama that he eats breakfast at 5 a.m. and has lunch around 11:30. That is his last meal of the day, except for a cookie or two late in the day.

“That’s the way to keep calories off,” I was told. “Helps you live longer.”
