My Summer Place= $1.00= Pop Up Art

With $10 in parts and a little paint and cleaning, this will be my summer camper. I got it at a garage sale for ....$1.00 .

I figure if it doesn't work, I can sell it for $10 and then get a job at Goldman Sach .

Really it is one of the best bucks I have ever parted with. You all are invited to come camping. It could be really cool.

Movie recomendation

Check out "Chop Shop" on netflixs. Kathryn and I enjoyed it.

ain't no grave gonna hold my body down

No that is not a proclaimation about any dire grave illness-- I have been listening to Johnny Cash's most recent...great treatment of old songs. Just back from Nashville, I am. Emily and Dave and Otis headed to Swaziland tomorrow. All is well. What music are we listening to?

Don Quixote/translation by Edith Grossman

We had a great discussion led by our Spanish scholar who gave us a lot of the local color of the places around Spain that were mentioned and insight into the significance of names. We ate Spanish dishes and some drank wine from the wineskin. The discussion got off track talking about our favorite parts so we did not get more philosophical before the time ran out. Next month-Man and Superman-GBS.

Jack, I got almost as excited as you with your slab when I got a full load of gravel.

Good Friday Snow in Gunnison

Prince, n'enquerez de sepmaine
Ou elles sont, ne de cest an,
Qu'a ce reffrain ne vous remaine:
Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan?

(Prince, don't ask me in a week
or in a year what place they are;
I can only give you this refrain:

Where are the snows of yesteryear?)

           François Villon  c.1461

Where are the snows of yesteryear??
Reminds me of a place long ago when it snowed  on Easter... Phil
