time's slipping into the future. I need to make a few posts to catch up on what the activities have been these past couple of weeks. why would anyone leave this place? well, money: it's expensive. but nature makes you feel good, and you feel knowing that thousands of miles of ocean separate you from the rest of the world. at least I do.

more maui days.

trees in rows. favorite place. I'm going to plant pine trees in rows this year.

week 2

went to a documentary screening of New Yorker cartoonists - "Semi Serious...". wish they'd shown more Steig, but the focus was on the living, and it was very interesting, especially seeing artists trying to get their work in the magazine. it never seemed strange to me, doing it, but it did look a little idiosyncratic, watching it on a large movie screen.

 happy hour in the clouds.

 yardwork - taking out the wattle.

stump forest.

more from here.

i'ao valley.

aaahhh...

back to old stomping grounds...

Picking up where "La jetée" left off?

things going on

 'tis the season to destroy buildings in center city. this one, on sansom street, was hiding an ornate interior. goodbye, boyd theatre...










this one at the corner of broad & spruce. make way for the hi-rise condo! oh boy.

out with the old, in with the new...indego bicycles give a nice, blue accent to the streets of philadelphia - see people riding them every day instead of driving or taking a cab. following in the tracks of paris' "velib'."

the arc de triomphe across from the 12th street gym.

end of semester, may 2015

the junior & sophomore screening is done - nice crowd, nice time, & good work! like my students, my semester duties are largely completed. now it's on to grades - hooray!  : |

a moment to catch one's breath & let the dust settle before picking up the ogre & the mermaid where I left off...
