Europe: Day 2 – Kröller-Müller Museum
Self-poortait We got on a tram before i was awake, although strangely lucid and alert for a sleeping person. Then we got on a train. We took the train to a bus. And there we were, at the Kröller-Müller Museum. I had been here before, but my memory, without aide of digital devices is sorely…

Europe: Day 1 – Getting to Amserdam and settling in
Canal at night Sitting in the airport, CNN was wallpapered with video of lear-jets trying to snag Michael Jackson. It was eerily reminiscent of OJ and I was sickened by the nonsense. Good riddance America, I thought. Having ’round the clock coverage on this topic on a major news outlet was simply embarrassing. I sat…

Land of Lincoln
Windshield artifacts (Insert backup sound – as I backpost some of the missing days from the journey) I saw the three bears off and started my way toward the middle of Illinois: my last stop before heading home. I met up with Mike and we headed off to Panera for some vittles. Hadn’t had Panera…

This porridge is just right
We dressed up the ashtray with playdoh and called her Lil’ Pea I left KC and it was blurry and too quick. The road to St Louis was congested. I got to the office of the 3 bears and we high-tailed it to free shirtless shots at the bar. We went off the suburbs and…

I met up with Art for lunch today and we toured the campus and looked at all the installations and whatnot. Organized by paper, sculpture and photography –…
