I saw a Facebook post today about this unicorn tapestry that someone copied onto a cookie cake. OH this unicorn tapestry! I love it. Actually, it's a series of seven tapestries called "The Hunt of the Unicorn." I went to college in NY, took art
history as a minor. My Art History minor was because of the Humanities class I took in
senior year of high school. I fell in love with learning about history
and civilization through its a…
Today is my mom's birthday! I called her first thing this morning to wish her a happy day. Because it's a Saturday, Louie doesn't have to work, so she has the whole day planned. But first, out to breakfast, so she had to get off the phone. We set a time to talk next week. When we do I'll ask how today's plan turned out. There is always a story.
No Facebook for me, as of late, so what was the first thing I saw when I logged in today? Cynthia's post about her pet pig. Nini is a real life pig in the city! But she still forages.

Cynthia von Buhler is a gifted artist, writer and illustrator, …

This is probably a gift to me, from the universe. …
Genine was a high school friend. Brief, bright and deep, that was our love, from about mid-freshmen year to the summer of junior year. I wish I could find my goddamn yearbook so I could see what we wrote into the blurbs on each others' pages at graduation. Was it "remember when we..." and was it promises to keep in better touch? It's things like that you grasp for, when you find out a one-time friend is gone.
Ha! I love this because it was the first day that I got the new webcam. In those days, the only way to get an image or video from a PC was to hook up a bulbous little camera. I don't even think it was USB at that point, but a webcam was some tech magic at the time!
