Thanks for sharing that. bev - Yes, you've been there, haven't you? It must be the hollowest of sounds... Natalie - Same to you! Though I haven't posted anything Christmasy (except at the photo blog), it's been a very good Christmas here. Lori – Very cool. Thanks for sharing that.

After one plunk comes another plunk and then it's drip drip drip til the end of time. Hope you're having a mellow and cheering end-of-year, Dave, with good fooze and bood and even better company. All good wishes to you and yours. I like ‘plunk’ for the last day because it doesn’t sound too final. After one plunk comes another plunk and then it’s drip drip drip til the end of time.

I wish. I go to a printmaking studio for that. I have used the old wooden spoon trick on small linocuts sometimes. You mean a printing press? I wish. I go to a printmaking studio for that.

I was reminded today that in Dr. Seuss's story "Yertle the Turtle," when the would-be turtle kind falls into the mud, the sound he makes is "plunk." Rebecca - I'm surprised. Somehow, I would've thought all that stuff would be available on the internet. Especially with the growing interest in analog technologies among hipsters these days. Peter - My parents are maybe a bit more cynical and/or radical than yours, I'm thinking. Which is not to say they weren't idealists back in the day. Leslie - I don't believe in <em>the</em> apocalypse, but i think we've shown we're quite capable of perpetrating horrors that make the visions in Revelation look mild by comparison. marja-leena - I presume you're already well prepared with manual print-making equiptment, though, right? greentangle - Thanks for stopping by.

Maybe I should dig out our ancient typewriter, see if I can get a ribbon for it and put it under my desk. Might be a fight with my kids over it when the plunk hits.
