Next time I go by to consume a bottle of white whine with him we'll have to have a toast to her, and all the unknowns that populate our world and memory.

If you haven't yet seen A Love Song For Bobby Long, I would suggest you do.
It is a fantastic Movie with Scarlett Johansen and John Travolta. But your last line quoted abouve reminds me of the movie. In it, Bobby talks about the invisble people. The people society dismisses because they aren't rich, important or beautiful. But Bobby finds the beauty in them and lives among them and becomes one of them. It is a southern tragedy in the Faulkner vein.
I loved it.

I've always loved the story behind the paintings you see at art exhibitions. It seems to me it gives life to them. On Wednesday I went to see an exhibit of paintings by Amedeo Modigliani. Ever heard of him? He was an Italian painter who lived in Paris, and died there rather young. He was very good friends with several important artist including Picasso himself. Modigliani led a bohemian yet tragic life, being hooked on drugs and alcohol and all that. The people featured in his portraits have this tragic look that sort of makes you think about his life. He died poor and miserable, and only got to see one exhibit of his work while alive. His work became famous posthumously, and now are worth several millions of dollars. I can't post any picture of him because they're copyrighted. I tried and photobucket didn't let me. But here's the wikipedia entry.

I remember the name from Art History in college but I am not really familar with his work, I will check out the link.

I forgot to mention. The coolest part about the exhibit was that they included photos of Modigliani, chatting with Picasso, hanging in bars, walking around, with his girfriends and other friends.

For the record: The man who thru the fruit pie at Anita Bryant was Tom Higgins. This according to the New York Times of 15 October 1977.

Oh the wheels in my haid are not just turning, they are rolling!

Nah, I cannot advocate violence against people, but we could symbolically acknowledge our struggle by having a slice.
