Nadir's Masterpiece

This is a photograph that Nadir took of mom in either the late Seventies or early Eighties. He apparently still has this up on the wall of his studio. I would.

Apologies

All, I apologize again for the erratic writing. I am still very serious about this blog, but things have been a little challenging of late. I will resume writing tomorrow, I promise.

Interesting Times

Excuse me for the erratic writing on this blog--I am going through a patch of Interesting Times; yesterday I totaled my car and nearly kicked the bucket. I skidded on a patch of black ice in the interstate and spun around in traffic, hitting the guardrail twice at high speed. I am well, and nobody got hurt, but it was very close and the car is at the shop (the prognosis is not good).

After all the paperwork, I had to go home and take care of some important work. Today I am just extremely exhausted. Call it delayed reaction to shock.

There is a parallel to this situation I am having: mom once participated in a 14-car pile-up in which she had skidded on black ice also. Nobody was hurt in that one either. That butterfly seems quite attracted to mom and her progeny.

G'night.

Random Linda Picture

This photograph was almost certainly taken in Sudan in 1999. I have no idea who the people are, but I wish I did.

If you compare this photo to the one three posts down, taken in 2000, you will see that mom had already begun to lose weight.

A Question

Here's something new: Instead of writing this time, I'm going to ask a question. In part this is because I want to know who's paying attention, and in part because I am really interested in your opinions:

- If mom were here today, who would she vote for in the primaries?

To get you started, Sylvia already said Obama. I think so, too, bt not because she liked him--she didn't. I just think she disliked Hillary more.

So? Who do you think mom would have voted for?
