For Gomez who is an inspiration and who gave me the original duck.

half but whole

Symptom: o brother where art thou?
Cure: guinness? not sure. Love and admiration. Forget yourself.

P.S. deadline writing for days on end makes for one image per four days. I say, p.s., how do you do? Would you like some pie?

To Evel: you crashed on many a sidewalk. Caio, my child hand.

Stuffing and overflow

When the simplest things become abstract (l'abstrait, merdum)

Family puzzles and the Astral breast

Say no more

Symptom: thanksgiving decorations must be passé: you have not seen one cardboard turkey, there is a paucity of gourds, the color combination of orange, brown, and yellow is no where to be seen. Additionally, at a recent dinner party, you realized that the generation behind you no longer knows what a "dunce cap" is, much less what it looks like.

Cure: Chicago--St. Paul, MN--Crystal, ND--St. Paul, MN--Chicago: be thankful. Be a pilgrim. Avoid dunces. Embrace doors.
