Scrub Daddy



David's The Death of Marat
(after Colombo)



Scrubb Daddy is the name of the wire encased sponge supporting the sliver of Kirk's Castile.




ThE wire could go on for decades but the sponge wastes away in less than a year. 



Here's its predecessor.



I do enjoy a bawwtth.

Ouch!

Time seems to fly by and things happen more quickly.

When i briefly looked away i was surprised to discover the vegetables i thought to sautée had set off the smoke alarm.

Turning to take the pan out the back door i moved too fast, spilling hot grease. I've always felt it my duty to be barefoot-in-the-kitchen but this shows the hazard of preparedness.

Polyamory Day

November 23rd is the date when a court explicitly decriminalized polyamory in Canada in 2011. Canadians started Polyamory Day accordingly, and it spread worldwide.

My vintage Roundtree & Yorke robe arrived.

I can now enjoy my evening cognac by the fyre with Michelle and The Cat in full comfort.

Full Moon

12:05 a.m. Full moon directly overhead sending big light into skylight tubes. Traffic noise horrendous! I lasted mere seconds outside.

Cook-Lynn & R.D. Laing

It happened again. I awoke at 11:30 to the call to meds. After going out to the Smirket Room and filling several containers so I wouldn't have to do it again for a few days, I was wide awake.

Now wading in Cook-Lynn's vitriol over America's rascism toward Red skin; she does an admirable job of scathittude.

It makes for perfect bedtime reading...all hatred of hatred and calling out the stupidity (willful ignorance) of academe and The Establishment just as R.D.Laing, Jerry Rubin & Stokely Carmichael did back in our heyday. Ah, those were the good times...when we thought we might change things.

Mom would be scornful...wasting time over useless angst-driven whatever when I could be reading The Steadfást Tin Soldier, The Velveteen Rabbit, or The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf. All of which I read every 20 years or so...just to remind me what it is to be human. 

Here's R.D. saYing it more succinctly...
