Today's Weasel

At no time did it go "pop" nor, aficionados of Frank Zappa, did it rip my flesh.

Arts Grant Proposal

 I am writing to request funding for a piece of performance art to be titled "Shells Returned". The seven year long project will involve my returning every seashell that I have ever collected to the precise place of collection. The piece will be in two parts, "Sorting" and "Returning". It is a companion piece to my "Books Returned", where I requested $500,000 dollars to return my overdue library books.

Part 1: Sorting: The largest part of this will be the sorting of sea shells and determining just where-in-the-hell I picked them up. This will be live-streamed for free on YouTube to fulfill underserved community outreach requirements.

Part 2: Returning: I will return the shells to the precise spots where they were collected. This will be performed for an audience of one (1): my wife, Jan. Expenses will include airfare, car rental, GPS system, accomodations, and meals. 

Cost: 2.5 million dollars. To be fair, I have a lot of seashells, live in a landlocked state, and collected them for free.

Fat-checking the president

Is this done by body mass indexing?

"We hear Woodward's voice asking questions throughout the recordings. He has also recorded the commentary that appears in the written transcript, so we hear him fat-checking and correcting the president."

Views from the last few days

Are we Sor yet?

 You can find a link to Fernando Sor's Op. 60 No. 18 here. Part of an occasional exploration of the opus.

Peg Leg Sam by request.

A regular in the early days of the Kent State Folk Festival. The t-shirt was dedicated to him the year after his passing. I remember him at the workshops and in the evening concerts. To my young eyes, he seemed so much older than sixty six.
