foe toes & follow-up

for some reason i have to log out, log into work account, open google photos, screenshot, THEN i'm able to upload pix here. cumbersome. i'm sure it's bc my work account has swallowed up my pc. i don't care much except it's a p.i.t.a. when i want to post pix to this blog here ... to follow up on below's crazy-lady entry, the trip to sf wasn't all horrible. the hotel was really nice & should've provided us a good time except for non-compliant coconut action. i loved the coat shown in the pic, which my sister had given to me (she didn't want it) & that particular pic shown here of my dear husband in a happy moment. i can't even remember the hotel's name, so completely have i blotted away the rest of that part of the trip. and amtrak was nice, providing lulling motion, endlessly interesting landscape, & endless snacking for james via the dining car. and we went to the musee mecanique, one of my fave places on this earth. and the halal guys was a great food find. and it was good brain & body relief to chug out all those miles on all those unending city streets. and afterward, it was great to leave the city, got to get away, all that fussin & fightin, you know i sure can't stay... the other pic depicts penny petunia page & joe louis page (facetiously now named joe louis jordan prima page) venturing into the emerging weather sanity as well the other one showing the turquoise sky of heaven mentioned below.

haven't written in a long while, tho much has happened, as i'd bet it has in your life, too. today it snowed & snowed! then the sun came out bringing turquoise heaven to earth. lately i've had a lot of the blues from the cold; they call it s.a.d., tho i wonder if people outside the so-called "1st world" suffer it? a lot of my suffering is cultural, i think, tho some be genetics... last night we watched antiques roadshow. the other day he took me to the desert bc my blues were just not lifting, & the desert wide & gold brought some hours of happiness, then i found a signed rev howard finster print at a junk store owned by an ex-cop right by the air force base & i just about plotzed! what a find!!!! and from voodoo vinyl, on the avenue in lancaster, got another copy of a book i got at age 16, a boogie-woogie transcripts thing, but this one still has the little flexi-record! and also on the av, the art gallery was closed but the ancillary one, the guy let us peek at the upcoming show, punk rock art, & there was ivy! & there was lux! (i mean in portraits, of course.) and then i learned the cramps are having a mini-renaissance bc of that wednesday addams show; she dances in a viral video to googoo muck. and the library book sale, well, it's the best i've ever seen. and the cholos were out in their ranflas & coches & pendletons & stacys & we walked & saw a vast array of humans, many more blacks than we have on our white mountain here, & i told james it was wonderful, what a change, more variety of experience than we saw during our hell-trip to san francisco in december, even, tho i did massive walks each day there, one day from nob hill to the mission, walking & walking to keep the hell away... ok, i'm rambling; just all kinds of stuff has been going on, too much to chronicle here. i can't believe my childhood friend's child took his own life. what tragedy. the world is beauty & tragedy. and then the rest. and we had a weekly gig, it didn't work out, we're gonna get another one, i've gotten to do some good works & also make an ass of myself, as i seem to do. james & i keep on chooglin. life keeps going for now. what else? i don't know. whaddaya want? a wish sandwich is the kind of a sandwich where you have two slices of bread & you wish you had some meat. that reminds me for some reason that today is gene sculatti's bd, art fein wrote a new book, & it sure did my heart & gut some good performing invitation to the blues, the rockabilly version of mellow down easy, & even my babe the other eve, tho the set was a challenge. i'm sure none of this has made sense. here are some pix. which one do you like?
