A Miniature Gynecological Exam Table and Gurney

I couldn't resist these beautiful miniatures. They will come in handy for a book I'm working on. I also bought a hospital bed and an IV stand. I used to own a gurney like this one. MIT's Artificial Intelligence department gave it to me for my performances. Now I have a mini one.

To Die For - And the pears think so too!

I never blog about food. I'm NOT a foodie. That said, this meal at Eleven Madison Park was the best meal I have ever had IN MY LIFE. And I have had some amazing meals in my time. Check out this menu above - you choose each course by flavor. The waiter begins by asking you if you have any dietary concerns. I told him that I was vegetarian and I'm allergic to all wines except Chianti (I know, it sucks). You must choose Black Truffle. "Chef" stopped by our table to visit. He explained all about the Black Truffle Falafel donut he invented. He was young and cute too! If you live in New York City you must GO to Eleven Madison Park. As an end to our meal they brought us a pear liquor. Do you remember those old ships in a bottle? How did they get them inside? This is the story of how the pear got inside the liquor bottle.

We used to make these quilled paper images when I was a little girl. This craft fad came right after string art. This is like a blast from the past, modernized.

2011, Massive Animal Death Map

This just in...thousands of dead doves "hanging like ornaments" in trees.

I raise doves. This gets uglier by the moment.My father designed nuclear guidance systems for GE. I grew up during the cold war with the constant fear that our town would be nuked. An alarm rang everyday at noon. If it rang at any other time we knew we would die. Excuse my paranoia, but I have been waiting for the end of the world since I was a child.
