how to make a homemade latte with a coffee press…
great smokies fall courses 2009 just arrived in my inbox. i want to sign up for a class, but that would cost money. i could teach another writing class at the flood gallery fine arts center, & that might earn some money. this quandry may turn philosophical: social objects vrs capital objects?
i hate scanning through my inbox & finding email i haven’t replyed to in 3 months…

good thing i started my monday last night around 9 p.m.
it’s been quite a busy morning. i had to produce a 10 minute audio broadcast before noon. then there was an unexpected meeting followed by several micro-meetings. now a late lunch with a good book & then on to print design projects.

South garden
the south garden patch, mid august: last night i smiled at the single pepper that has grown in one of the three remaining pepper plants. but this morning i discovered it had been a feast for bugs last night. now i’m wearing my sturgeon face. this garden has been an exercise in futility. first i lost all the cabbage & spinach & then most of the pepper plants. the cherry tomato plants appear to be fine, but no blossoms yet.
