by Non-stop coverage of what’s going on in science, for instance, would be a thousand, kabillion, trillion, katribillion, times more interesting. How did we get here? To deciding that 24 hour news coverage had to center on politics? And why isn’t there a 24 hour Cute Overload-like channel?
I’m going to work on A Sea Symphony now. Cleanse my palate, as it were. This is a picture of a side alley of St. Anthony’s in the snow.
Agree! How about a 24-hour a day news cycle about cats and dogs? Now that would be interesting.
I wish we would stop naming streets and buildings after politicians. I like the way they do it in France. Streets are named after poets and writers. Maybe symphony conductors, first-chair cello players. We could even have a Stacy Horn Street. (What about a Stacy, Finney, and Buddy Street?)
Incidentally, I’m in a used book store the other day called Half Price Books which is a wonderful outfit that buys everything and sells it for half price. Unbelievable has three copies in the occult section.
I remark excitedly, “Hey! I know the woman who wrote this book!”
“Is it channeled?” asked the lady nearby.
“Channeled?”
“You know, like Alice Bailey and Madam Blavatsky.”
I quickly realize that I do not know if you receive royalties for books that are sold on the second-hand market. I smile: “Absolutely. It’s sort of channeled just like that.”
She leaves with your book, a satisfied customer.
(I bought your book new.)
“St. Anthony’s in the Snow”… Is that like St. Martin in the Fields? Ha! I really love this photo with the statue of St. Anthony & Jesus beside bags of garbage or recycling. Touching in a way.
Yes, I also thought there was something poignant about the statue and the garbage.
Greg, I’m still laughing. That poor woman. And thank you. Twice.
