Gertude Vanderbilt Whitney

I was bored tonight so took a walk down the river - stopped at the Titanic Memorial, designed and sculpted by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney - She founded the Whitney Museum of Art in New York, was Aunt to Gloria Vanderbilt and great aunt to Anderson Cooper

And a VERY interesting lady - Read about her sometime



Then on Down to the Fish Market where I got some CRABS -

Lure of Destiny

I have been fishing since THURSDAY - I am SICK of catching fish -
Well, actually, I'm fishing now.

This is a Lure my friend Diane tied for me in 2006 - it is the ONLY lure I have ever had and the hook is rusty after two years on the back of the boat and those were once feathers

- OH, and it WONT quit catching fish - I'm counting about 200 so far since Thursday -

This is what fish want to eat I suppose - what the hell is in the Potomac ??

Guess Who

The details of my life are quite inconsequential.... Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament... My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon... luge lessons... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Wilma ritualistically shaved my testicles — there really is nothing like a shorn scrotum — it's breathtaking... I suggest you try it.
