Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age pastellists should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the pigment.

It’s a great photo of the bard. I didn’t mind the parking garage at all.

I bought a camel colored overcoat for some art biz trips to NYC. Damn near died trying to hail a cab outside the Salmagundi Club. Should’ve stayed with my Pacific Northwest attire: Gore-Tex.

Poetry may not have the following, but I’m going to be very fond of this new book. You did cause me to tear-up over Gerard, today. I’m hoping the poetry book is a salve for our memories.

“… a good idea not to look like a slob when you went out.”

Absolutely. Shame too many in our culture seem to strive to appear as slovenly as possible when going out in public.

What an odd coincidence. My wife and I were a long distance relationship for our mutli-year courtship and prior to our marriage the only photo I had of her was her in an overcoat on a street on an autumn day. Not too unlike this one. And, in the early days of computer photo editing I scanned it and used a filter to make it look like an impressionist painting. That was my computer background for years.
