djgagnon replied to your photoset: I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side… Very sorry to hear this. Take care. David Thanks so much. She was so amused that some of the photos I’d posted of her here were “liked” and reblogged!

strobehearted asked: This is regarding your grandfather, whose autograph book you featured, was he an illustrator, as well? (sidenote: I love this post because my husband is a comics critic and has a series of books of artists sketches -- autographs of their kind, I guess.)

scout1222 replied to your photoset: Would you take sex advice from this man? I should… I can’t wait. Idiot child left to die! What a headline. I know, right?  The article’s pretty depressing actually, even with the paper’s obvious sympathy for the “idiot child” and her sinfully single mother. Boy 1950, you sure were judgy!

djgagnon replied to your post: What you have to get over Nice photos! Thanks!  They’re from the winter before last - an astrophysicist from Queen’s assured us that the freeze-thaw-wind-freeze conditions had been perfect for safe skating out on the Lake. We started out at the Yacht Club and skated about 3/4 the way to Wolfe Island - smooth sailing most of the way!

What you have to get over
Stumps. Railroad tracks. Early sicknesses, the blue one, especially. Your first love rounding a corner, that snowy minefield. Whether you step lightly or heavily, you have to get over to that tree line a hundred yards in the distance before evening falls, letting no one see you wend your way, that wonderful, old-fashioned word, wend, meaning “to proceed, to journey, to travel from one place...

djgagnon replied to your photo: This is a sexier cover than you usually see for… Intercolonial Railway facilities right at the harbour! More train pictures! … Wonder if this, Cruel Sea, Two Solitudes are still taught in high school. Yes!  More train pictures!  I have no idea what the current high school reads would be, but now I’m curious … must find teenager types and ask.

ummsomeone replied to your photo: “What’s agitating about solitude is the inner… bit of a hopper fan, are you? do you like pollock? I do like Pollock now, but didn’t always. For years I found his work too chaotic - really the polar opposite of Hopper’s realism and clean lines and themes of aloneness. But he (Pollock) has grown on me somehow. Maybe the chaos better reflects my...
