After I sat pondering Bill’s picture for a bit I realized that the most common use of profiles is on coins. So I created a prototype 75 cent piece featuring Bill.

While watching The Light Rock Express at Charlie’s Big Top this past Friday I caught this shot of Bill Shirley sporting his “Chin Curtain”.

Toad Coat
Cynthia has made me many wonderful shirts over the last few years, but they pale in comparison to the absolute coolness of her hand-made, one of a kind, coat of many toads.
Cynthia collected the various frog and toad prints over many years and then pieced them together into this marvelous creation.
It’s a real head turner!

I have a fond memory of reading the book “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” by Richard Bach during the early 70’s. It was a very popular and inspirational story in my youth and it came highly recommended to me by many of my friends.
It’s one of those memories that looses detail over the years but gains in mental and emotional significance because it marks a change in mental state. I have not read it again since that first and only time, and I am rather certain it would not have anything close to the same effect on me today as it did back then so I choose not to re-read it.
Rather, I choose to let my flawed and scattered recollection tickle my consciousness each and every time I find myself near the beach with an opportunity to feed the seagulls.
In doing that, I reach back and make a connection with a distant but pleasant memory. And maybe, just maybe the serenity and joy I experience in that moment is the true benefit of having nurtured this fond memory for over 30 years.
At least I hope so, because otherwise I am just giving free bread to a bunch of filthy sea pigeons.
