I really should say thank you

Views of the wonderful book that WeatherGrrrl made for me for Xmas

I got a lot of very cool gifts at Xmas, but a clear stand out is the above, a wonderful, hand made art book created by my lovely wife just for me!

The text is a set of Fibonacci poems written by our good friend Athena Kildegaard. The cover paper (which you can’t really see here) is a really cool paper made from bark that another friend (Peter Whelan) got years ago in Bali (or someplace close).

I took a bunch of photos of it at Xmas, and then some more here, in part because it’s really cool and makes neat photographs, and in part because she needed a collage like this to submit to the Annual Juried Student Art Exhibit.

It’s a really wonderful book, and a really wonderful gift! Love you dear!

Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends!

Red onion

One of the great weirdnesses of living here in the UK is being reminded of how completely American a holiday Thanksgiving is, effectively ignored on the rest of the planet. (Much like American Football, to which it is quite closely connected!)

‘Twere it not for various on-line reminders and communications from (American) friends and family, one could easily miss the whole thing. I, to be honest, only realized quite late in the day that Thanksgiving was today – I had been thinking it was next week.

But it’s today, so happy Thanksgiving! Now go read Athena’s cool Thanksgiving poem and enjoy your feasts!
