me and Kodachrome

I am very sad that Kodachrome is GONE!  (Hal gave me the shirt to commemorate it!)

Paul Simon Kodachrome Lyrics

When I think back
On all the crap I learned in high school ((<--I learned good stuff too!))
It's a wonder
I can think at all
And though my lack of education
Hasn't hurt me none  ((<-- oh yeah?))
I can read the writing on the wall

Kodachrome
You give us those nice bright colors
You give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
My sweet imagination
And everything looks worse in black and white

Kodachrome
You give us those nice bright colors
You give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day, oh yeah!
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama, don't take my Kodachrome away

Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome (away)

Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome (away)

Mama, don't take my Kodachrome
(Leave your boy so far from home)
Mama, don't take my Kodachrome (away)

Back from Rehoboth Beach

We're made it safely home and need to finish unpacking and drying and repacking all our soaked gear! We got caught in a downpour trying to break camp yesterday morning.

Shown in this picture from left to right: My broth Tom, my brother Rob, and me. In the background, Rehoboth Beach at twilight, from the boardwalk.

It will take me a while to get caught up!

Visit DD! See me reading poetry

This is a screen shot from my Detroit Photo Blog (originally called Detroit Daily, but I've given up the "dailiness" of it! Too busy.) To read the rest of it, click here. And thank you to all my friends who came to support me, I really appreciate it!!!!!! THANK YOU!! I thought the reading went fairly well, other than my getting the papers mixed up! :-(

(No, there is no audio, just the rest of this picture and the rest of the words.)

Me, by Andrea

Andrea, at Something Different, posted this portrait of me. :-D

Happy Birthday

And this from Happy Hal:

"Once again , Happy Birthday! It really wasn't that long ago....

"You know what's really beautiful in flowers? They have really gorgeous sex parts!!

"ha,ha

"Hal"

That is one weird picture of me, and I do NOT really like it much.

Art Installation at Cranbrook

me on it, of course.

I posted a new prose poem and art piece at Half-formed today.

Been very busy. Bought a second home for a studio, office and guest house. Have an MRI today for my brain tumor.
