The OED word of the day for the erasure commentary is 'Buster Brown.'

Sketching in Fremont this morning, it didn't seem right that Peggy & I froze our buns off in only the first week of autumn.

The OED word of the day for the erasure poem | commentary is 'orc,' a sort of ogre resurrected from Old English by Tolkien.

Peggy had the good idea to sketch in the Fremont library, the perfect location on a cold rainy January day: big tables AND stamps (unfortunately, I stamped the tiny Piglet upside down in the foreground!) AND stickers (Peggy used a cool thought balloon one).

Fortunate to be able to sketch today with Peggy, a fellow Urban Sketchers Symposium attendee. We were having withdrawal pains, and needed to get out there...

The Seattle chapter of UrbanSketchers convened at the "center of the universe" (aka Fremont) this morning, having gladly changed an indoor event to an outdoor one. Viva El Niño!
