All's well that ends well
Jane made it home ok, and I made it back to Deming ok. The bugs dampened the fun more than a bit but we had a nice visit in spite of it all. Some rest and we should be good as new and ready to start thinking about the next get together a couple years down the line.

Waiting
I remember walking in art galleries, through the nineteenth century: the obsession they had then with harems. Dozens of paintings of harems, fat women lolling on divans,turbans on their heads, or velvet caps, being fanned with peacock tails, a eunich in the background standing guard. Studies of sedentary flesh, painted by men who'd never been there. These pictures were supposed to be erotic, and I thought they were, at the time; but I see now what they were really about. They were paintings about suspended animation; about waiting, about objects not in use. They were paintings about boredom.
