Dancin' Fool

Big Ol' Walrus of Reckoning
Big ol’ walrus of reckoning (didn’t know there was such a thing didja) slapped me down last Friday. Thwap. Sat on me hard. And it hurt. Lots of pain. And it was hot. Feverishly hot. Maybe it swallowed me, I don’t know. But Marty insists it wasn’t a whale of a reckoning. On Saturday, I…

What they did opening for Todd Rundgren
I wasn’t at the Variety Playhouse yesterday, where Marty was playing, but I’m still going to try to provide a basic description of the scene, via his telling of it. Not only was I not at the Variety Playhouse, I didn’t do my yoga yesterday. It’s the first time in the nearly seven weeks since…

You can do me a favor, the next time you’re in Sedona
And then we went to the old Douglas Mansion in Jerome where H.o.p. (who carries his sketchpad with him everywhere) drew a gargoyle that was leering down from a bookcase.

Yoga Mat Across America
H.o.p. and the Very Large Array, 2008 You’ve no idea how much fun it was to introduce H.o.p. to the Very Large Array. And me too. I’ve wanted to visit it for years. Looking at the map, however, I’d thought it would be miles off course and that we’d miss it. Instead, it was right…

Ten Year Old Child Begs for Bergman’s "Seventh Seal" (Don’t They All)
I’m not big on Bergman. Yes, I’ve got “Bergman on Bergman” on the shelf but that’s from my late teens and early twenties. However H.o.p. came across Bergman’s Seventh Seal I don’t know but a couple weeks ago he brought it up. “What’s The Seventh Seal?” he asked. Yes, I watch great movies with H.o.p.…
