I'll keep you all posted quarterly. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Claire, the last Thing I wanted was to confuse you or make your head hurt here. THe THing is explained a lot better than I could under the link. It is an everyday object, in this case a window shade, that an artist (be it an author, painter, performance, etc.) has come up with some idea and then that idea gets carried out by volunteers. So came this painted shade. Okay, I'm rambling and perhaps confusing you further. In other words, I *won't" buy this for you as a birthday present.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075495407192340894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28673298.post-37065300301228117302007-10-10T19:54:00.000-04:002007-10-10T19:54:00.000-04:00I guess I lost my thing AND my groove, cuz I don't...I guess I lost my thing AND my groove, cuz I don't understand what the Thing is exactly.

Those are all things that I strive for in a good field trip. <BR/><BR/>The construction, I fear, is months from completion. Every time, I think the worst part is over, some other annoying bi-product appears. The latest of which is some sort of snowy debris from stucco installation.
