a cute thing and then some stuff
The other day I was out in the backyard planting my chard and sweet peas and I saw a thing that made me wish very badly that I had a camera, preferably one with some serious zoom capabilities: a tiny red ant — yknow, a TINY TINY ant — carrying a dandelion seed, with the poofy part sticking straight up in the air like a sail. I would not have been surprised if he had flown away in a breeze. It was the most precious thing I’ve ever seen. I laughed out loud with delight. All alone in my backyard.
In other news, Arco Flute Foundation reunion Friday night at Gooski’s, look for my article on that. Also Brain Handle and Kim Phuc are playing with Under Pressure that night at the Rock Room. Should I do a Polish Hill show crawl? Can I pull that off? Who knows.
ALSO Mother’s Day is coming and I may be taking the mudder to the Bayernhof Museum, which is apparently totally insane. I’ll report back on that.
Speaking of report-backs, I owe you some musings on music and criticism in response to the SFJ lecture — I’ll try to get that done today.
