This week’s been about work and family, family and work. And some fun.
E-spouse’s brother, his wife, and their four-year-old twins were in town from the Boston area for the week. Adorable cousin time. Fun-family-filled evenings for all of us. Followed, of course, by diarrhea and vomiting for two out of the four kids. Another day in the life of parenting and germs.
Otherwise, I’ve continued to be obsessed with the article I’m writing for Mountain Xpress. I’m almost done, though it’s still not perfect. Articles never are, but I can still try, can’t I? Look for it on March 5.
Also, still working out glitches on the Wordpress transfer. My Blue Puzzle has been puzzling out some of the transfer problems. Another friend told me he recently transferred a blog to Wordpress, and the first 95% of the work was easy. It was the 5% of tweaking that took tons of time and energy.
Also attended the Asheville Art Museum’s opening and announcement of their upcoming smArt Speak Distinguished Artist series, featuring visits from Guerrilla Girls, Art Spigelman, and (gasp) Christo. The party was fun and brought home to me again that I’m not very cool, especially when compared to all these artistically dressed folks. I heard I was seen on the TV news running my mouth at the party.
In other news, Day in the Life of Asheville will happen again this spring, Saturday, April 19, to be exact. If you’re a fotog and like to shoot up our town, please participate. It’s always a learning experience. And lots of fun! Great meeting, guys and girls. Thanks for coming out and volunteering to help with the process. On my gallery page, you can check out my shots from DILOA’s 2007 spring and fall editions.
Happy Sunday!

Christo is coming to Asheville? Gasp! indeeed.
I do hope he plans to shroud Carl Mumpower’s house in bright, billowy draperies, well hemmed.
My academic department in graduate school hosted Art Spiegelman not long after Maus II came out.
He disturbed everyone by chain smoking obsessively during his entire presentation.
The department immediately — but unthinkingly — returned the favor by serving $500 worth of cheese and ham at the reception.

Remember when college profs used to chain smoke through their lectures?
Damn, I’ve sucked down metric tons of secondary smoke in my life time!
Hi James (neighbor!)
Art will not be smoking at the Thomas Wolfe onstage, as it’s not allowed…you’d think, living in this great state of NC that it would be but….
anyway, if anyone has any questions about the program, feel free to contact me as I am the manager of this exciting endeavor!

Hi Nancy,
You mean Art will be “smokin” but not smoking!
Fun party, btw.
