Premature elation
Ok, NOW the holidays are over and I SHOULD be doing many things to counter the unfinished business of 2006 but I wanted to take a few minutes to count the number one blessing in my life, my Harry. We celebrated the anniversary of his birth tonite with a few folks he's known since college. We don't see them often so its really an occassion to make sure we get together and tally the zeitgeist, eat pizza and drink premium beer to celebrate a premium Harry.
There was a toast to celebrate the upcoming publication of his book of Richmond Flashbacks as well as a play he has been commissioned to write about the friendship between Tessla and Twain. (Imagine David Bowie and Hal Holbook playing Tessla and Twain since they both know the roles so well.) But I digress -
It was a lovely evening that ended on a dark note because, like all anniversaries, the most recent resurfaced... and we were reminded that last year we spent Harry's birthday at the Harvey's service and candlelight vigil at the Unitarian Church. We ran into R and L and
ended the evening with thai at Mom's Siam. A memorable birthday, yes but if we could go back and change things wouldn't we ALL, the whole community of artists and musicuans, just start partying at the Harvey's on Dec 31, 2005 and never leave? If we were up all night maybe things would have been different.
Last night DC and MN-R were there, SS of S and F, RF of R and L, PK and P and B, JJ of J and T and of course my Mom. Our tree was tilting due to the attentions of our youngest cat Flannery... perhaps the Bushmills has a little to do with it. Tomorrow it will come down after a long day of paperwork, bill paying, letter writing, research, etc, etc. Happy New Year, really; everybody!

All the best.

it is all for the best... the short week and the shock of the new - year that is: art, commerce, planning, packing and once again, I come to the conclusion mr artie cointed - there are too many things and not enough clock... what to do? I'd love to see a show of artwork by gallery guards. It would be interesting to do exchange shows of different institutions' guards... the louvre guards do an exchange with the guards in San Francisco - that sort of thing. Hmmmmm...
