Summer Update: IN DC; Funny Insightful Blog; Dr. Moran and Stibora; Painting

Summer Update:


To my dearests:

I'm in D.C. now, after a long and broken up drive.  It's good to be here where the things are green and swampy.  It's funny to be back in the east where the service is bad and the people don't care.  I rediscovered a few things: green plants, hills, mailboxes, and humidity.  If you're in town, holla atchya boy.

My brother John showed me this little blog called Hyperbole and a Half.

It's got some pretty funny stuff, such as this:

T'night I'll be heading into Old Town Alexandria to Murphy's Irish Pub to visit with other UDers and Dr. Moran and Dr. Stibora.  They're in town for the night as they make their way to Italy.  They're teaching on the Rome campus this summer as part of Baroque Rome for UD alumns and I think also Shakespeare in Italy Program.  Can't wait!

Starting this Monday I will be taking an intensive Master Artist Portrait Painting workshop with instructor Rick Weaver.  I am very excited, and will now go give my canvass a light tone of burnt umber alkyd paint so that it's surely dried by class on Monday.


Ciao ciao,

PB
