got a call from an old friend...

Will called me today. He's an old friend from Walden that I haven't heard from in many years. He had a new baby boy 4 days ago, named Elvin Lee. Congratulations!!
Then, knowing he's a jazz guitarist, I googled him. I listened to some of his music, loved it and bought some cds.
Great to hear from you Will. It's been a blast from the past kind of month!!
check him out!

kids and pots...

This picture was taken during saturday morning cartoons. Their favorite cartoons are "the emperors new school" and "pokemon"...OY! But they still like cartoons I can relate to like Bugs Bunny and Scooby Doo. Soon it will be back to The Wiggles.

I am finally over my slump and feel like making pots again. Usually I don't feel
like creating anything when I am creating a human (aka Silas) but I am reinspired.

three thoughts for the day...

War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest,
easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious.
Major General Smedley Butler

Here's what I think the truth is: We are all addicts of fossil fuels in
a state of denial. And like so many addicts about to face cold turkey, our leaders are now committing violent crimes to get what little is left of what we are hooked on.
Kurt Vonnegut

Name me the emperor who was ever struck by a cannonball.
King Charles V the Wise

ok, I am freaking out about our school...

For those of you who haven't heard my ecstatic speech
about Mac and Emmetts school...well, it seems we may have
finally been given a new site that is a good fit for us.
It sounds like a dream with bigger classrooms, an auditorium with a stage,
and space...lots and lots for us all to be creative.
Room for all this...



organic gardens, school plays (that's the Waldorf
School doing Sound of Music)...tree houses and murals...
Now just keep your fingers crossed that it all really happens.
We're just a few "AYES" away!!

yup, another video...
