    .. .. .. ..
    On March 28 in 1848, for the first time in recorded history, Niagara Falls ceased flowing when an ice jam in the Niagara river above the rim of the falls caused the water to stop moving.

    You just have to love knowing stuff like that.



    I'd rather be outside than in. I'd rather be moving than sitting down. I'd rather be tent camping, than stay in a hotel (but I do love those little shampoos and soaps) Things that have made me who I am: the beach, the desert, the mountains... many colors, textures and sounds... music, art, poetry, reading, and every single thing encountered - good and bad - that has led me to sitting here, writing this... What I miss: Having backyard jam sessions, barbecues and s'mores around the firepit. Swimming and boogie boarding in the ocean and then lying down on the warm sand. What I like now: Being in the forest when it's raining, the ocean, the beach... the big tree roots, the little soft stones, all the happy dogs, no traffic, blond dreads, women who look their age. ....
  • Music

    Happy noise, rythym & blues, honky tonk, rock n' roll, Blue Note jazz, acoustic guitar, Julia's flute, Nick's guitar, Kevin's angst, Marky on drums, Hiro at the mic, Larry's words, Memories of The Dark Horse's everywhere, Darren's mandolin, piano, harmonica, conga drumming and campfire songs.
    Blasting rock and roll and singing along really loud in my car. Driving through Joshua Tree listening to U2... "And I still haven't found what I'm looking for...". Driving through Death Valley in the winter at sunset blasting Led Zeplin's "Going to California... with an aching in my heart...". Driving through the redwoods listening to the Talking Heads "Home is where I want to be lift me up and turn me round...". Driving through the bottom with The Decemberists "I was meant for the stage... I was meant for derision... I was meant to raise these arms with silence all around me." Favortie lines: The Roche's "She gave me a wooden chair, that I sit on in my underwear."; Traffic's excellent attempt at Brubeck's "Take Five": "And it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest, but the low spark of high heeled boys." Bowie from David Live (not the studio version) "Time takes a cigarrette, puts it in your mouth...Wall-to-wall is calling, it lingers, still you forget... (and then the whisper) ... oh no love, you're not alone."

About me:

I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve (or save) the world and a desire to enjoy (or savor) the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.

E. B. White, "One Mans Meat" 1948

Sewer, Burbank, Alley Project, 2005

This piece falls under the Historic Documentation category. My shed door, inspired from the 1940s was on exhibit at the Morris Graves Museum's Junque Art show 2007, and the Ink People, as well as last year's North Coast Open Studios. I imagine this door to have been mine in another life, that of a farm hand - a female farm hand.

    Hey Sharon, I was just wondering if you found a room mate? Unfortunately, miscommunication has left me homeless and I am just being hopeful at this point to find a place. I am sure you have found some one but if not, let me know. Thanks, take care.
