 let the public IN.

it was a weekend of eating,eating,eating. i gained one hundred pounds and lost my liver in pittsburgh.

fifty is a very good number.
i hear it's the new thirty.
i think this is true cuz you don't look a day over twenty-seven.

<3

go ahead fall in ...head first

lets go to the beach one more time...

smell the lavender............

ok... are you calm?
now go speak slowly and clearly
with out judgment or anger...
talk about tolerance and compassion.
and compare it to
piousness and fear.

help your neighbor make the right choice.

blue shudders to match the sky.

two red chairs down.

NICE, FRANCE!!!!

(...this is where we were one year ago today..can you guess where?)

 

lots of tomatoes now
zinnias are abundant
morning glories are glorious (red this year)
two giant sunflowers
painted the bedroom blue
the library books are due today.

i have never-ever lost my car keys.
and if i seem distracted
maybe it's because i am trying to decide
where to put them next.

click for pink...you need pink

well i'm not gonna make any promises but...
i did a bunch of scanning sunday afternoon....
and well...
let's just say

this would have been a great place to have a pinhole camera.
i only had the regular holga.

i processed my pinhole film tonight .
it is hanging downstairs drying.
it is so dense i will need an x-ray machine to scan it...

mid-week...i got nuthin' to say
enjoy the blue

some how electric wires don't bother me when there is a palm tree near-by.

i've decided that change is good.
no matter how much discomfort it might cause initially...
in the end change has always been good for me...
just in case you were wondering.

that's my story and i'm stickin' to it.

abby lite: it's the low fat version of  notre dame

i don't have an answer.
i don't know what they were thinking.
but i am sure it was a clever idea...at the time

well... here we are at the flea market in nice
across the street there were these giant boats (i think they are called yachts)
and very tan, rich people
i refused to look their way...because i knew they wanted me to.

.....some of them had poodles.

check

checkmate

i win...

i have a vivid memory
of my (big) brother trying
to teach me how to play chess
when i was about 4.

i didn't really get it....but i'm sure i won

have a nice weekend

as we drove by this town we could see that it was empty...
we tried to find it on our very detailed michelin map...
not there!!
later we found out the military was using it for practice
and they were probably watching as we walked up and down the road looking for a way to get in ...
(um yes there were signs... in french ...something about "armes de distruction de masse"...not sure what that means)

this very-old-church
is in the town of Callas
which is near the town of Bargemon
which is where we stayed.

Bargemon is near Fayence
which is near Frejus
which is near Ste. Maxime
which is also where we stayed
which is near St Tropez
where we couldn't afford to stay
but is a good place to go for a tan.

ya' know France is lousy with beautiful ruins..

so ...july 16,2007  i lost my watch

i did without for several WEEKS.

but when you live in a hotel and don't speak the language well enough to even ask what time it is ...you realize that clocks are not common in public areas.
that 's why watches are so nice. you can monitor the progress of your day without appearing to be the impatient foreigner.

august 3, 2007  was market day in APT...
..i took advantage
and bought a watch from a vendor
who used a steak knife to install a fresh battery...

strangely he used a screwdriver to eat his lunch.

it was a kitty-cat-hologram watch
(you know the kind..
when you look at it from different angles there is a different kitty)

it cost me 5 euros

sometimes the signs are  hard to find and tough to read

holga

have a great weekend!
maybe go for  a nice long walk.

facts:

they make good pate (and lots of it).

they look surprisingly good in a beret.

the snobby-rude ones are facing extinction.

they are against the use of fossil fuels.

they continue to boycott the flintstones cartoons, movies and vitamins

due to the unfair treatment of dinosaurs.

one question:   what do you call a french dinosaur?

(monsieur)

holga/plus-x

the answer is: yes...
the fan was able to cool the entire city of aix-en-provence.

it was too hard to pedal in those things
so finally i  just ditched 'em
no regrets
