Power To The Poet, Power to The Art
I gave this mask designed by my friend:Tony Aldarondo, poet, actor, singer to my friend Jim Wosessner, poet, painter, scultpor. When i went over to share a beer at Jim’s floating home, I was delighted to see everyone masked up and socially, in some cases perhaps emotionally, distanced, though it was hard to be sure. I love buying art and craft from one friend and giving it to another to enjoy , bridge gifts ~

The Great Blue Owl
Returning from Noir City Film Fest one midnight, we heard a who-who-who-ing on The Owl, our neighbor's houseboat . . . answered by a call coming from some bobbing mast in the channel. I put my hands together and responded with a whistle. Silence. I snapped a Hail Mary photo in the dark and sent it to Dennis B., a photo magician, to sort it all out. Who knew?? The iPhone wasn't talking. Neither was it's pocket pal, iFlask. And neither, was cagey Dennis B.
Nobody here but us bowls, coffee filters, and bean grinders . . .
