THANKSGIVING
Went for a hike around Discovery Park on Thanksgiving. It was a perfect gray Seattle day. The water was rough and then there was the solitary washed up boot. Mystery abounds.
THE MURRAY HOTEL
Drove through Livingston Montana on the way home. Jim Harrison lives here. I crept by his house in a not too subtle stalk. Nothing is subtle about a one-ton diesel. I didn't have the balls or rudeness to bother him. I know he received at least two copies of 'Hell'. I'll keep waiting. At night I retired to the roof top deck of the hotel. I drank a Jameson's and had a pipe. This tobacco pouch belonged to my great-grandfather. History makes us who we are.
COLONEL MUSTARD
"Head East Old Man!" said no one, ever. My 72 GMC is going to live in my parent's barn. I've pretty much maxed out this rental trailer. And I can't help feeling like I'm being chased by a drunk logger. Every time I look in the mirror, he's there. Just hope he doesn't get any closer.
ON THE BOOKSHELF
I'm at a coffee shop for a meeting, trying to drum up business for a failing excavation company. They chose the venue but I had to check the shelves. It's better than a consolation prize.
EX LIBRIS
"Ex Libris: 100 Artists, 100 Books is an exciting exhibition that aims to bring together the worlds of visual art and literature. The invited artists will present works that draw inspiration from books that are important or special to them.

Here's a photo of me next to the reimagined version of Animal Farm by my wife, Kellie Talbot, who was part of the 100 artists.
