r., my shoveling companion of 22 years, visited last week and took me on an expedition to Vienna to examine a medieval manuscript he's researching for his art history PhD. he sent me this pic of us in salzburg when he got back to johns hopkins in baltimore, md.

here's another, even goofier one, taken in Vienna by a midget we played pool with until the rain stopped.

and...did the midget beat you at pool?

and how! his eye was right on the line. i thought: he's balancing a diamond on a blade of grass.
it was more than rain that fell that afternoon. . .

gangstaesthetics. i love it when a letter is used in two ways at once. "a"

William S. Burroughs? with Tom Waits?...you've gotta bring some of that with you to Mississippi...though it may be too much for me.

I miss you.

miss you too schaufemweg May 12 2005, 11:32:17 UTC

When you hear sweet syncopation
And the music softly moans
T'ain't no sin to take off your skin
And dance around in your bones
When it gets too hot for comfort
And you can't get an ice cream cone
T'ain't no sin to take off your skin
And dance around your bones
Just like those bamboo babies
Down in the South Sea tropic zone
T'ain't no sin to take off your skin
And dance around your bones

Love.

is Joosy having his show while you're there? i just got a couple of Free Press(es) in a package from my Dad.
please love that place for me!

Not sure. I have that Free Press but I have not read it yet. I'll get back to you about Joosy.

I tried calling you on Friday to hear about all the wonderful things going on with you but you were out of town which confirms that I must talk to you soon and get all the fabulous details.

In Jackson-at work-back in the real world-and yes, I will keep it warm here until you arrive.

Talk soon.
