temperance14 | Well this was going on this morning...but the Goddess

(probably Athene) thought I was not focused enough at the desk, and shut down our internet access for awhile.

Without further, or much ado, here goes nothing.

Ah, for the old glamour days: Literafiosa

Times when you hope people believe that your memoir is a fake.

***************

From Feathers of Hope, last week or so: Pica and Numenius write about:

1) Assisting the Audubon Society of Solano-Nap in constructing a breeding bird Atlas of Solano County. Damn. (26 March)
Two sketches---one is a sketch and commentary of non-native turkeys deposited by Fish & Game in eastern Solano Cty. (25 March). The second is a lovely monoprint of FSM, and an introduction to a fantastic website: Illustrations Friday. (24 March). This is going to be bookmarked at home and work, computer, along with Sketchcrawl

And by the way, I finally painted on Sunday. Horrible bit of work, but it felt good. Best of all, it was guerilla haiku. Something of which I must inform Pica and Numenius….

2) Pica working on the committee to organize the Avian Flu Symposium on 15 April in Davis. (23 March)

3) Found out about an AMAZING piece of textile art called Flying Carpet installed at the Sacramento Inter Galactic Airport---the carpet is an aerial view of the Sac River. You have to see these pics. Frankly, I’d like to go up and look at the carpet in person.

This blog entry also introduced me to World Changing. Skimmed through and found, through a commentators link, this issue of Nature (always hear referenced at NPR, but never read) on computing in 2020. As noted by the commentator, different from the standard Wired articles on the subject.

And for your entertainment calendar

1) BUGGER! I FORGOT DR DEMENTO LAST NIGHT. Was so wound up I forgot!
2) Tonight on PBS, a Ric (not Ken) Burns documentary on Eugene O’Neill. Listened to an interview on NPR last weekend about this one---very interesting. And didn’t realize until then that he spent his last years in Danville. Anyone ever visit Tao House?
3) Palms Playhouse: Laurie Lews twice in April. Robin and Linda Williams 30 March Thursday. Steely Scam on Friday 31---tempting, that. Devil Makes 3 has an interesting write up 1 April Sat. Jackie Greene is sold out. Davis Wilcox on 26 April. Rusty Zin sounds good on the 28, Mumbo Gumbo of course on 29. Ain’t the Palms without Mumbo Gumbo.

Update 8:40pm---forgot to get video tape for PBS. Aha. Will repeat at 3pm on Wed 29.
