Brain Freeze

I know we're all disgusted at what passes as contempory art. But it sells, you say? Only to idiots who want to pretend their mind is more highly developed than their friends who couldn't possible understand the great abstraction.
But instead of giving in and just complaining about it, I have taken action. Ihave taken Ryanne's drawings off the refridgerator, framed them and hung them on all my walls. It seemed like I was not the only one doing this since our city busses are now scrawled with child-like drawings, but there is something about them that says, “Faked by an adult trying to epitomize childrens drawings.”
So my home looks like a school bulletin board, which is at least a step up from an art gallery.
But I didn't log on to blog about that. I've had trouble putting two thoughts together lately, so I thought I would just do a brain-cleanse today.
To refresh your memory, Bellingham is a city built on hills, much like ancient Rome. We live halfway up one of those hills,and my driveway slopes down from the road. As a result, any debris that blows along the street ends up piled against our garage door. Over the years I have have come across basketballs, soccer balls, tennis balls- you get the drift- burried in among piles of leaves, fir branches and cigarette butts. Everytime I clean it up, another storm comes along.
Unbelievable! This time it was a snow storm! In April!
Ryanne's entire fifth grade class went to mountain school this week. I wonder if they prepared for a snow storm. “Donner Pass” has been flitting in and out of my thoughts all morning because Ryanne is a picky eater, and I doubt she would make it. She is a skinny kid, so she's safe that way.
Yoga update- still doing it. Sometimes during the day I bend over to touch my toes just because I can.
Squirrel War update- uneasy truce remains in effect.
Jerry just informed me that he didn't know what I was talking about with Donner Pass and didn't think you would either. Ha! I told him I have very sophisticated readers. You're welcome.
