Bronze Idols

I’m not a fan of ballet. I’ve seen performances I’ve enjoyed (usually not classical ballet) but I’m not going to go out of my way to view it. So it’s exceptional that I’m offering some ballet clips below. How’d I get there? A NY Times article nearly convinced me that there may be visions of…

AN ASSESSMENT

H.o.p.: Ancient history is brutal. Me: So’s modern history.

DAY 20: IN WHICH OUR ANTS TAKE UP SCULPTURE IN LIEU OF TUNNELING

Susan of French Road Connections was inquiring how our ants were doing so I thought I’d update. There they are. Day 20. There’s a wee bit of tunneling down the side of the habitat, just a little more than evidenced on day 10. The three perforations towards the center of the gel are the ones…

HE BELIEVES…

Haven’t uploaded anything for H.o.p. in a long while. Stacks of drawings pile up several feet high all over the apartment. I need to start getting some of them scanned in. Was just doing this one tonight because I find it heartwarming that his conviction that Martians exist is unflagging. This is a little sketch…

IN WHICH WE ARE TOLD THAT WE DO INDEED HAVE EXCEPTIONAL ANTS, IN AS MUCH AS THEY ARE "MEDIOCRE"

We’re scarce around here, aren’t we? H.o.p. couldn’t care less that Marty and I have come down with bad colds (I went for three months without one and believe me I’m at least grateful for that) and has just popped on Mozart’s Requiem. “Guess what I’m listening to?” he sings out. I’ve decided the music…
