“Just to give you an overview of my philosophy, I think that everybody is a book but they just haven’t [been] written [about],” Shulman says, in between stuffing his green peas down over a meal. “In other words, everybody has a table of contents. To me, it is one of the most enjoyable things I do because it’s like traveling all over the world, but I don’t have to get on an airplane.”

I actually met this man tonight;
as I'm blowing bubble from sidewalk while wearing pink bunny ears.
It's true;
my mother's favorite decorating advise:
"Every room needs a splash of color to surprise the eye."
So interesting all the synchronicities happening lately.

Evelyn Daniel died just about an hour ago!
They are going to cremate her but don't know
when memorial service will be! Donna said maybe this weekend!
Feb 2, 10:48 pm
Had just finished this collage piece when receiving text from my sister informing me of Evelyns' death.
Macrame angels;
made as Christmas gifts one year.
Of course Evelyn got one!
{T-(ime?) or T-(aproot?)}
She was the one who taught me the recycle art of making stained glass candle holders using the back windshield of a car. Had I not seen her making them, first, I would have never known I wanted making them.
And Evelyn certainly didn't seem to mind helping getting me started making them messy things; even scaring up for me from somewhere somehow, the whole thing; the back windshield of a car.
All these years later I can not help but wondering;
does it...HAVE TO BE THE BACK WINDSHIELD...of a car?
It certainly seemed Evelyn thought so..?
It was also Evelyn coming with my mother that day, when picking us up one summer, the small group of us from the First United Methodist Church of Prescott, Arkansas having just spent a week at Camp Tanako; a Methodist summer retreat on Lake Hamilton.
The pictures of me wearing a green T-shirt, one picture posing with my cat Tater Tot (the lady of my house) and the two posing with an inflatable Halloween ghost and a sex toy known as St. Andrew's Cross among a subset of us within the gay community, was a T(?)-shirt given to me by my mother; from my hometown of Prescott, Arkansas having used one Evelyn's husband designs for it's annual Chicken and Egg Festival that year.
That day these pictures taken was one of many days pissed off at the neighbors living in the house directly across the street from me; nationally known pastoral consultant George Robert Gary, Sr. MDiv, ThD having a wife once having me believing my only friendly neighbor, Janet Claire Segers Gary.
Even stopped a young bi-racial couple jogging down the sidewalk running through my property, asking, if they would mind taking these pictures of me posing with the St. Andrew's Cross?
Of course didn't tell these two, or even try telling these two love bugs, the purpose of these pictures they were taking of me until after I, first, quickly reviewed the pictures having just been taken;
satisfied!
"THAT IS A PERSONAL PROBLEM!"
~(Young Black Woman)~
They certainly didn't stick around long; or at least she didn't care hearing more.
The other one, the quiet one this whole time, just fell in steps behind her when quickly returning them back to their jogging.
She certainly had him well trained.
And it's kinda funny when thinking, just now, more about that day..?
Wasn't slavery once a personal problem...

KISS MY ASS!
Just exactly what it was reminiscing about that day, getting me even more pissed off at the Gary's, I do not remember? Most likely everything they've come to represent more than any one particular thing, eventually, winding me up to the point just having had to vent.
Strange, how it is I'm thinking of all these things, only now, all these years later.
"THE MCSWEENY FAMILY'S THE CLOSEST YOU'VE EVER CAME TO BEING POOR."
~(My Mother)~
Strange, realizing just now, how it came to be my mother having almost died that day a terrible car wreck. Instead of Evelyn coming along with my mother just for the ride on a pretty day, it was my father coming along when time picking me up from Daisy State Park; where having already spent a week with the McSweeny family camping by the lake and still having just too much fun.
Strange, how it came to be, how we were able talking my parents into letting me staying another week at the lake, roughing it up camping, with the McSweeny family.
"MOTHER. BEING THE VETERINARIAN I AM TODAY, IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME AT ALL, THAT BELLY WRAP AND HEAT LAMP WAS PLACED ON TAFFY AFTER SHE HAD ALREADY DIED."
~(JAMES E. AVERY, DVM)~
Strange how it was Missy, while sitting on my father's lap, having died this terrible car accident the day the angels were supposed to have been coming for me;
Missy's mother, Taffy, having died during the C-section?
MINUS FLESH = WATER AND SPIRITS: SENTIENT PUDDLE OF ALL SENTIENT PUDDLES
Not even sure if these stained glass candle holders Evelyn inspired me into making, several years in a row as Christmas gifts actually, coming before or after my mother having almost died this car accident?
All these years later I can not help but wondering;
does it...HAVE TO BE THE BACK WINDSHIELD...of a car?
It certainly seemed Evelyn thought so..
at the time?

Of course I do not give Evelyn's husband ...EL SPOTRO ... much credit, if any at all, for his recent ascension to fame as Arkansas's most famous "Outsider" Artist.
I know from my mother, this new founded passion of EL SPOTRO started off as a joke making fun of a black man's paintings of watermelon slices.
I'm certain of it;
he would not have even thought painting fun of this black man's painting had Evelyn not already the paints/materials most likely having used starting him off on his road to fame.
Plus the continuing encouragements to paint more once starting;
nothing more than an attempt keeping the old man busy and out of her way!
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ANGRY MAN, A CRAZY MAN, AND A GENIUS?
And the sames goes with Einstein's fame.
