Another day of Bang! Bang! (Choice contractor quotes to come…)

I found these beautiful photographs of soap bubbles by Jason Tozer. Click on the image above to jump into the Flickr group.

Mr. Tozer’s site is here.

Enjoy.

While the destruction continues on the courtyard wall, I am finding it difficult to do anything constructive. Bang! Bang! Pound! Pound! Crash! Crash! A bit distracting.

To mentally escape, I have lost myself in the Library of Congress’s “An American Time Capsule”. Somewhere in this virtual pile of 17,000 scanned pieces of printed ephemera, I found The Cryptograph, complete with instructions. This, of course, ties right into my childhood ambition to be a spy or a detective (in the tradition of Sherlock Holmes or Lord Peter Wimsey).

Back to the archives…

…when I woke up, there was a hole in our wall!

Okay, I am being dramatic. I didn’t sleep through a hole being knocked in our building. I did nap through some of it. My napping abilities border on narcoleptic.

[Overheard, from one of the contractors:
“That Martha Stewart hammer you got ain’t gonna do it.”]

We are knocking a hole from the inside to the outside courtyard. When I write “we”, I mean that the contractors are knocking a hole in the wall. I am watching and covering my ears.

While I have maintained a blog-ish News section for more than ten years, I recently decided that I wanted to jump on the great blogging band wagon. It is a wonderful format for posting news, but also for sharing the creative process, technical information and a selection of things that inspire.

No promises regarding frequency of updates, content, etc. I will do my best to keep it interesting.

Take care,
