new start to blogspot journal

the day before yesterday ended up being a 12 hour day. i didn't do much when i got home beyond drinking a Fischer Alsace. sleep was dead until 7:30 when Claire stirred. yesterday morning we went to Avalon in need of a massive breakfast injection. we talked about the EggBaconChipsBeans review page that Vicky turned us on to. i had a passable cheese omelet with french fries. eleanor ate a quarter of it. this is my new diet. share my meals with the Boo and trim down at the same time.

i went in to work early yesterday to clean up the mess left from the previous night's transplantation of the store into the museum and did some rearranging of the counter. i have decided to now embark upon at least a once-yearly self-portrait. it might be drawn or painted, but it won't be photographed. i'm beginning to notice subtle changes in my appearance and i guess i'd just like a document of those changes as filtered through my head. besides, we got in a beautiful book of Ellsworth Kelly self-portraits over a forty year span and it has left me inspired. of course, Kelly has the luxury of being successful and able to devote his full time to his art. i'll give it my best shot.

this morning was our usual foray to Barnaby's. Eleanor is a spaz. banana pancake makes her go apeshit.

i'm starting to think that maybe this will be my journal of choice this year since none of my local friends read this. i can sorta say what i want.
