Say My Name

I run the unfriendly streets each morning just as the sky is shows its first hint of light. I painted my hat to remind the deer and opossum who I am!

Try Again Tomorrow

I collect. Pictures, objects, letters, photos, tidbits, quotes. And every so often I am moved to use them in a collage or altered book. These are the first four pages of my current project.

The pic above has been sitting in a file folder for I-don't-know-how-many-years.

The pic above hung on my wall when I worked for Housing Authority in 1985

The pic of Martha Graham was from Sharon Schanzer from 1980.

Frida came from a wall calendar - not that long ago, maybe 2003.

Its not the "What", its the the "Why"

What is this, you ask? That's easy - its my lunch - eggs with mushrooms and zucchini and a roll, and they are cooking on my office space heater.

Why? Because a co-worker (whom I really, really like) STANKED UP the microwave with a dead fish. Did I say "STANKED UP the microwave?" I meant STENCHIFIED THE ENTIRE 3 FLOORS OF THE BUILDING. And maybe the birdbath outside. And likely the hospital across the street.

But, since necessity is the madre of invention, MC pointed out that I never have to leave my office again! (Since there's no toilet paper today, she just happens to be right!)

More Work Love

This is the bathroom sink at work. The bathroom never has the necessary trifecta - tp, soap, paper towels. But guessing games are fun...unless you guess wrong. Anyway, I spy with my little eye...an olive? a grape? rabbit poo? Of course I wouldn't touch it so I ran the water (I know, very not green of me - but this was in the name of science) to make the object roll around. I have determined that it is a grape. MaryCatherine suggests that it will be in the sink long enough for it to ferment and make wine. Bets, anyone?

UPDATE! UPDATE! The grape is gone and MC suspects that someone ATE IT. In this place, I wouldn't doubt it.

This Is What I Miss

Thanks, Google Images for the Sunnyside Arch

I took the ones above and below on Sunday from the 7 train...my beloved 7 train.

Hold the door - I'm on my way!

COLD

Why is the mammography lab so cold? As you can see, they did a very thorough job.

(And yes, I do have nipples, i just put them away discreetly for this pic)

Does Whatever a One-Legged Spider Can

Found on today's run.
