and wanted to show you a birthday necklace I made for my friend Larry and wish him another happy birthday!
I also wanted to leave you with a quote for the day from an Edward Abbey book I'm reading right now (my 1st Edward Abbey in fact) "The Fool's Progress" :
"Henry reflected. A fork in his road of life had most suddenly appeared dead ahead. To the right, the right way, a broad and shining highway led upward beyond the master of arts toward the Ph.D- the tenured leisurely life of overpaid underworked professorhood. A respectable life. Anyone who is paid much for doing little is regarded with obligatory admiration. To the left a dingy path littered with beer cans and used toilet paper led downward in darkness to a life of shame, of part-time and seasonal work and unemployment compensation, of domestic strife, jug wine, uncertainty, shady deals, naive realism, stud poker, furtive philanderings, skeptical nominalism, pickup trucks, a gross and unalembicated nineteenth-century eight ball materialism. He called his shot. I will not tell a lie. Looking at his three Inquisitors looking at him, he answered them collectively:
Not really, he said."
Not really what? I so want to know what that means. It was a nice thursday night with beautiful pork and knife and fork and giddily wine...I love your daily drawings.
ReplyDelete- a.
he was replying to the question of " Henry- do you really want to be a Professor of Philosophy?" Kinda an important detail huh??!
