Your comments warm my heart so not only because I love and respect you very very deeply, but because you too are an artist and a craftsman. And perhaps braver than I: that great dragontangle of LA scares the bejeezus out of me, and not in the good way that the great vertical Grendel of NY scares the bejeezus out of me. And I wonder: do you remember when we sang 'Proud to Be an American' in Music Class? Maybe it wasn't fifth grade, but it was something like that. We linked arms all the way around Fairview school in the intention of all singing the song simultaneously, but as the school was too large, one side of the school didn't know that the other side had started singing it and so waited around and then realized they'd missed the opportunity, but sang anyway, probably after the other half had already started trooping back to their classrooms. It is one of the better metaphors for democracy that I have ever heard, now that I think about it. You know what I miss? Pencil boxes. Do you know what else I miss? You. Love. Thank YOU!
