I was prepared to be icked — these kinds of things usually trigger an unpleasant recoil — but instead I was captivated, amused, and gleefully impressed! Your poem is lovely, your reading is wonderful, and Seung’s snowball trails are enchanting.

Thank you!

marja-leena – Good to hear that from a professional artist! I have a couple of photos up on Flickr, too.

bev – Thanks. After I finished the video I got to thinking that “iron skillet” might’ve been better, but it’s not too critical, I guess. I do worry that someone who’s never cooked with iron would have no freakin’ idea what I’m talking about there.

Christine, I really appreciate your enthusism for the video, but I do not agree that it “far surpassed” anything you’ve done. In any case, it was fun to find a use for that footage in the same way that I discover things in photos I’ve taken. If I’d written and directed from a script, the process wouldn’t have been nearly as enjoyable as that sheer serendipity.

Dick – Hope I don’t disappoint! Actually I think my highest priority now is to get some good footage of my niece. You’re only four once.

Danika, that “house full of cats” line is the one I’m proudest of, so I’m glad it resonated with you as a cat owner.

My favourite: living with the questions is like living with a house full of cats… wouldn’t you rather have an uninterrupted sleep?

As the parent of a kitty with feline dementia, I can relate.

Seung sure knows how to play in the snow. It was fascinating to watch her spiral the snowballs, making lines and shadows, as if her actions were the question she had about the snow. Good stuff, Dave.
