Not often you get to hype your own show. And, don’t give me any grief about my self-portrait on the announcement. It goes with the show.

Claudia Stellato, Dead at 56
Claudia Stellato died at 56. We worked together at the Public Defender’s Office in Rutland. Much too young to die.
Happy New Year
Start 2011 off right. Don’t start any of those drastic changes required by your resolutions until Monday, January 3.
Mark Madoff and Me
Never been rich. But I did lose all my friends, my reputation, and my ability to earn a living. Lost my home, my neighborhood, my connections. Lost money and a pension you could live on. People just didn’t look at me the same way. I became the subject of ridicule and scorn, not to mention a person in need of police protection. No way to ever be respected or relied on. My Mother even had a heart attack and died listening to Governor Pataki rail against me on the television. No way to recover. You don’t come back from total disgrace.
Joe Kernan
To protect what little is left of my retirement and savings, I sometime watch CNBC. No more. Aside from the yelling, bickering, and free market blather, they try to do news. Because of their bias, that part of their offering falls way below even FOX’s, whom we all know is simply a tool for Rupert Murdock’s and Roger Ailes’ political machines. The government had a chance to stop Murdock, GE should stop Kernan and the rest of the banterers. I will watch no more.
Portland before Maine Media MFA
I don’t travel well, because I don’t like public bathrooms.
Just like home.
Porland looks much like Burlington. Portland Museum tomorrow for the f64 show. The town be a little more gritty than Burlington. Better baseball team and stadium (Pawdogs). Better restaurants. Ferries to the islands. Politics here, though, be seriously messed up right now.
Get Low Duck
I realize that I am not supposed to be in a cemetery, because I am a Kohane. So I go in my street clothes, instead of my priestly garb. One day, I will lie here in a shroud, to be followed by Sharon. Pretty wierd feeling to be looking up at the sky from the spot where I will lay for eternity.
Jim Winner Dead
Jim Winner died at 81. He developed the Club Antitheft device for cars, changing the lives of car thieves and car owners. No longer could someone with a screwdriver pop the ignition and drive a car away, basically without fear of being caught; no longer did drivers park their cars, fearing they would not be there upon return. Not sure whether theft insurance dropped in price, but anxiety certainly did.
The Art of Laura K. Winterbottom and Lorin Duckman
I met Laura’s art at the SEABA office gallery during art hop. To visitors, the pictures are just some images to be liked or disliked. To her family and friends, they are her statements about life, creative outbursts that survive her; gifts that she will give in spirit. To me?

A.C. Locasto Jeweler
Just a jeweler on Main St. in Margaretville, NY. 94 years old. Amazing that he can see. More amazing that he can feel.
