Thought upon attempting to exercise:  “Matthew Lickona:  less a man – a thing of muscle and bone, tendon and sinew, nerve and organ, spirit and flesh – than a cleverly crafted bag of suet.”

Well, now, this bodes well indeed… But Angelico, you left out the best part : “Probably the press were the only people to be taken in by Bruno Hat. Certainly, everyone at the private view knew what was happening; Bryan Guinness remembers: ‘it seemed to me a charade rather than a hoax since everyone appeared to be in the secret. Nobody betrayed it: to some extent the hoaxers were perhaps hoaxed in thinking anyone deceived.”

– For Cecilia You give the world your blood and after birth You make it seem so easy, waiting out A want of moments, soothed by minutes’ hate For hours – if they would come as once they came, A steady sixty coming all the same, all the same… No tears but silence; no tears – they could wait – It wasn’t death as possible but life As probable, too definite to wait. The doctor’s practice comfort, keep the faith With science, moving mountains through the earth. Through the earth, We hear with hope as love beholds her name: So seconds run ahead of months, create A space for meaning’s cry, and void the doubt To birth a lamb’s delayed and sudden bleat: Her first and signal heartbeat – bittersweet, bittersweet. – July 18, 2007

Critics are raving about the new hit play from the 4H “Nifty Neighbors” Creative Consortium which can be seen in it’s entirety here. Written by JOB, yes, but more importantly, made a reality because Mrs. JOB courageously assumed the directorial duties – giving the lie to the idea that women only have to be BEHIND men of great deeds – sometimes they’re well out in front doing the most excellent work. “Sweet fragile creatures,” indeed! And many many hands to help behind the scenes too – thanks to you all! (With apologies for the poor sound quality, I simultaneously doff a big ten-gallon Stetson to Paul and Liz Bransky for having the wherewithal to record it in the first place (my day job prevented me from attending the one-day opening/closing performance, alas!)) Also, if you actually want to follow along, the complete script can be found here.
