'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Zuisa, you're sure ticking off a Life List of places visited!

I spent about $800 yesterday paying off the back balance for my heating bill for last winter. (I'll get $400 back for my roommate/tenant's share.) It's nice to get out from under these postponed obligations now that I Have A REAL Job but, still frustrating to see all that nice new money suddenly disappearing in a puff of bill-paying.

Still better than having the gas cut off. It's the little things.

HKF has boxed up some (more) stuff for Commandante Bossypants, actually. Should put them in the car and drive away from the PA pollen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, happy birthday K!

I think I am out of denial and into having a cold. Sucks. But the desert will cure me, right??

Art Crawl!!!

I love it when paintings are unexpectedly found to be important and/or pricey.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It wasn't quite that pricey, but a drawing that had hung in my grandmother's foyer for as long as anyone could remember turned out to be a previously unknown Kubin, worth about $20,000. We have no idea where or when or why she bought it -- her apartment was filled with paintings, but none of the others were worth anywhere near this much, and it was really a remarkably ugly painting.

It's the first one on this page: [link] It looks a bit prettier now that it's not behind glass with half a century worth of grime.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Happy birthday not-a-baby-K!
