Evamy

Here are some shots of my studio (do you see the ease with which I slipped that in?--my studio) at the Banff Centre, which is basically a Canadian Disneyland for artists. I've been bashing away at the keyboard for the last couple of days. Result: mostly crap. Must be the uber-deluxe quality of my surroundings--see "cubbies" below.

Just now I noticed at my elbow a kind of flash card for wildlife encounters, which has separate categories for elk, cougar and bears. If you are attacked by a bear, says the card, "lie face down with arms behind your neck and your legs apart." That's a new one--legs apart--seems kind of counterintuitive, especially for the guys. Maybe it's some kind of wrestling defense maneuvre, so you can't be easily flipped. Maybe these are Delta Force bears, more elite and skilled in their combat techniques than bears elsewhere in Canada?

I heard about this as a distant rumor. Glad it came true. It looks like some fantastic karmic payback for all those trees you've planted.

Who is the Hemingway tenant? Most importantly, are you addicted to the Gooseberry toasted sandwiches yet? I hope you're having a productive time. Drop me a line with your news sometime, let me know how it's all going.
