Blog virgin Simon described the path that brought him here and his reactions to the site. Printmakers Marja-Leena Rathje and Linda Dubin Garfield both responded positively to my post on Richard Serra. Butuki shared a more realistic interpretation of “going to ground,” while Rebecca Clayton put a new spin on the phrase “confusing fall warblers.” The Rockin’ post prompted several amusing responses, including a poem from Joan, “Petrophilia.” [...] [...] Via Negativa posts were graced with some fun comments this month.

Well, pork <em>is</em> in a class by itself, and much as I love scrapple and sausage, I tend to agree with Leviticus about the meat's basic unwholesomeness. Pigs are just too close to being people. It's almost as bad as eating dog. Holy shit! That’s highly bizarre.

Out west, I'm waking up and ready to start my day at 2 or 3 a.m. (yikes!). In the redwoods, I would lie awake for hours listening to owls hooting back and forth in a canyon (it was great). Yes, I'm a vegetarian, and Don just eats meat very occasionally. I will cook it, but he usually says not to bother. However, while I was out west last autumn, he decided to buy and cook up a pork roast. Somehow it sort of "exploded"after he took it out of the oven. It shot fat all over the white painted cabinets and even the ceiling. Couldn't be washed off with any substance known to man (at least none that I've found). I finally gave up trying to clean them off and sanded down the cabinets and repainted them. I expect next time, he'll just roast a cabbage or something similarly innocuous.

My body clock has an alarm that goes off between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m. Something you wrote made me think you were a vegetarian. That's clearly not true of your husband, though! Or perhaps he's like me: a vegetarian except when I'm eating meat. I want to keep up with the late night stuff, but then pop awake well before dawn.

Looks like it was great fun. Fish eyes, eh? You and my husband would make a great pair -- never turn down a deep fried duck tongue or foot because you never know what you might be missing out on. Re: travel -- I don't consider myself to be much of a traveler, although seem to manage okay once things are underway. The biggest problem for me is jet lag when tripping around on the west coast. I want to keep up with the late night stuff, but then pop awake well before dawn. Then upon returning home, I seem to stay stuck on west coast time for months -- but then, my mind is still roaming around in the redwoods, so what else to expect?
