Waiting for the Bus in the Pouring Rain

It's Pouring outside.
I am not having fun.
Still waiting for the bus.
Makes me glum.

All alone,
Waiting for fun
And maybe some sun.

Irony: The sinking of an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks BP.

One better: When you are driving your barge to work in the morning, please feel free to ground it atop the Great Barrier Reef-just for fun.

To begin with, I thoroughly enjoy the art and diligence in writing short stories.

EARLY

Cast concrete experiment: clueless.
No idea. Never did it.
The objective was to cast a black concrete pedestal for a newly acquired sculpture. As you can see by the photo, within seconds of pouring the concete into the mold, the 'fun of it' was quickly surpassed by a crash course in physics--grab and screw anything wood-like to contain the oozing. The result however, turned out to be an unexpected work of art.

I'm listening to a speaker on NPR ..her opinions are clear--quite moving. She speaks with the same vigor as Roy (Arundhati). My homework is to find out who this was...

INTAVA FOR RESIDENCY:THE PFISTER

Intava (sp?) is eleven. She lives in San Francisco and paints in the window of her family's storefront--and proudly displays her work, rain or shine, on the sidewalk for passerby's to enjoy. I'm told her younger brother helps; sanding smooth each of her small postcard-size plywood surfaces.
