Nu style

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem | commentary is 'nu school.'

Many reasons to like the Mark Spencer Hotel in Portland, but a big one is the free NY Times delivered to your door every morning, which has both all the news fit to print AND great color images to cut up for collages.

Susan, I'm really enjoying your Portland paintings. If you'd like sketching company, there are several of us who go out regularly in Portland. Just drop a line if you'd like some sketching buddies.

Hey, Vicky, actually I'm already back in Seattle - it was just a quick trip to see the Rothkos at PAM. I DID think of contacting you guys before I went down, but figured since I'd only be there during the week, it probably wouldn't work. Hopefully next time - with a weekend! And hope you are coming up to Tacoma in July for our 'regional' sketch crawl!

Keep us in mind next time. Some of us (retirees) sketch during the week and we could show you some favorite spots. I don't think I'm going to make it to the Tacoma sketch crawl, but hope to get north for another one.
If you ever get to see the play 'Rothko', I recommend it as a good accompaniment to his wonderful art.

Well, rats. I won't make the same mistake twice!

Actually, it was by seeing the play in Seattle that I found the PAM exhibit! Great minds...
