Orion was assigned a presentation about shadows.
So, we played in the dark, talked about light and how photographs are made.
He left for school with a photograph and new information pinging around in his head.
Soon enough he'll put it aside, then later on, he'll connect it to other information, constructing, piece by piece, his map of how things are.

Today I received new stories from Peter Beagle, written around art images I sent him. I was both surprised and delighted at how he interpreted the art and where he went.
Strange Roads indeed.

I'm reading bits of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book, looking forward to more bits. Later I may envy you, wishing I could read it again, for the first time.

Orion and I won the Gran Prix of Mario Kart today. He in first place and I in second.
We rode in the parade. We danced...for real.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation has erected its first billboard in Madison, Wisconsin. If you live comfortably near Madison and have a Poppet and send me a Poppets On Tour photo of your Poppet with the billboard I will happily send you another poppet of the color of your choice.
No kidding!

And a few days ago Derek Ash sent me two new Halloween poems. They are cool and sort of...poppety.

Lots of creativity these days. Lots of making. Shadows and Light.
