Lost my dreams again this morning. After reading news for awhile began a draft of a big rant about Healthcare™, but it'll have to wait. (Might as well wait til we learn a bit more anyway.) Feeling slightly overwhelmed again, which invariably makes me tired. Summer always and ever gains too much velocity in the… Continue reading nothing.

Rocks dry at half tide
Details from "Map of Lynn and Saugus: Settled in 1629" (Boston: Pendleton's Lithography, 1829) [Published in Surveying the Shore– Historic Maps of Coastal Massachusetts 1600-1930 bt Joseph G. Garver] The bounty of texture and details in these old maps makes me wish I'd chosen to make of the year a state or province; even a… Continue reading Rocks dry at half tide

I've spent a fair amount of it working, but today has so far been for things of… Continue reading Summer things

The tech will be coming tomorrow between 10:00 and 3:00. Fingers crossed. * * * abstract (unrelated)– the goal: not necessarily realistic, but well-realized.
