Windows into Heaven
or
He had me at ‘rabbit skin glue’...
Last night my parish hosted the first of three talks by Joseph Malham, iconographer and author. I enjoyed it so much that I was sorry that I didn’t dig in my heels and force Chuck to accompany me. (Since it was scheduled to run more than 10 minutes, I didn’t think Eddie would be remotely interested. I’ll just have to tell him what I learned.) Chuck was going to go with me, but I had the feeling that it was only because he thought I wanted an ‘escort.’ Oh, well. I think he would have found it fascinating. I had hoped Martha would be done with work in time to stop in, since she is our own “artist in residence.” But no such luck.

For me, it was like being back in school. Only better. Much better. (And through the miracle of modern technology, I have Arrested Development and Simpsons on tape...)
