Sprezzatura

Beautiful (17th century?) Italian word for the "art of making art." That's a okay description of my blog, but it's really not art - just a variety of "brain dumps" I find interesting. But I just love that word: Sprezzatura. It's fun to say, too. I might make art of out of my blog, someday. First, I need a story and a plot...

Beautiful Rain

What a perfect weekend, filled with - yep, you guessed it - rain. Lots and lots of beautiful rain. Wore coats, hats, gloves. Loved it! Okay, I prolly looked like a dork, but I fit it. On Friday afternoon, went into downtown - just to get out of the house - and dropped in to Momo's. (Good Friday, and I went to a bar.) Sat in the front window to people watch. Grinned at everyone and waved at a few. Most folks looked away, embarrassed, but some smiled and waved back. Oh the fun I make, huh. Wore my brown leather cowboy hat - it was raining, remember? Asked two guys at the bar if I looked like a guy in the hat. They both said "no." They didn't even hesitate. Excellent. The bartender said I looked very "Northwest." Cool, huh. Had a shot of Irish and a couple of black coffees. My big day out - whoo hoo.

Did some more unpacking and decorating the house this weekend. Why? 1. Needed to, and 2. It was raining! I'm happy with my efforts. I look around this place and just grin. More books to unpack today. I wish I had some help in hanging stuff on the walls. Everything is prolly too high and crooked. Anyone interested in coming to Portland to help me out? Lemme know.

How funny! I was just looking at the calendar to see if there was a weekend coming up that would coincide with Southwest's Super Sale. And there was ... April 13. I got all excited ... then I looked at the calendar again and saw that when YOU will be HERE.
hahahahahahah
