"I have to say, I am looking forward to moving permanently to
Elgin Park.
For all of the excitement, both good and bad, of this reality,
the story line is getting thin for me. Time to move on.
Eric, I hope I'm not bringing you down with all of this.
If anything, I'm just thinking out loud.
On a different note...
When I come across something soul stirring, such as your
Art or the story you wrote about your Father, everything
stops for me. It's almost like entering a reality "out of time" filled with
understanding and comprehension; Life Distilled, as it were.
I love these moments and always keep an eye out for them.
Music and humor are also avenues to these moments.
The photo you sent of your '66? Chevy Impala presented another
life distilled jolt. The fact that it was snow covered and missing
it's hubcaps, made it all the more potent. Plus it was a far more romantic
image than if it had been clean and polished.
The smell of the cold interior, the feel of the hard plastic steering wheel,
all of the miles on the odometer....
I found myself nodding and smiling. Like the rooms you had drawn, I also
knew this car.
There is a drawing you did of yourself behind the wheel of an automobile:
a cowboy hat, rain on the windshield, the glimpse of a rear fender,
and a very focused look on your face - it was quite the image.
Would you feel comfortable sharing some insight into what was
going on at that time? Self portraits are always fascinating snapshots
into one's internal landscape.
And not just the image itself, but what you were feeling while you were
drawing it.
When I was an art director, one of the activities I liked
best was reviewing peoples portfolios. The finished images were of interest
but it was the process of how they got to the final product that was
more intriguing. All of those creative miles they had to travel before
they arrived.
Eric, I realize am rambling here again; a thousand pardons.
I hope you feel better. Good vibes are being sent your way.
Best regards,
Michael"
Are you gonna put people in the deserted streets?

Want to send a postcard? Send it to Hobo, Penobscot Falls, Maine 04915. It will get there. Thanks to Brett for sending the box!
Most exciting thing Penobscot Falls ever did. The locals still talk about it. Some towns raise a cathedral, but PF raised a DC-3. God love them!
Also a fruit truck I've been building. Penobscot Falls is not big on citrus saying: "I ain't eatin' none of that Californee-A stuff!"
