Ichabod the Octopus

 


Ichabod the Octopus -- fresh from the kiln.

2013 memory.

Workout

 










Paddling the narrow board, so the shots are a bit tippy.

Relieved to have a light breeze window amidst the heavier winds.


Steel Wool

 


It's not, but almost . . . .

Emergency Rereading: Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser!

 


I have been happily rereading Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd & Gray Mouser stories for about 47 years now.  

Not to be too dramatic--and all is well--but this is the book I grabbed on my way to Emergency yesterday, knowing the wait would be long, the stress high, and the need for solace in witty, adventurous distraction great.

This is the one with the rats.

Hopeful full recovery.

Use Your Sunscreen



Self-portrait #60.

Here's the thing. I have outlived my image of my father who had outlived my image of him. 

Do you get that? 

My image of my father stopped when he was age 60, a virile aged man. He lived to 70, outliving that image I had of him, surprising me each time I would visit.

What self-absorbtion I had!

My father was older than I imagined!

Now, guess what?

I too am older than I ever imagined.

Who knew?
