nineteen eleven twenty-one new coat of paint Since once again I haven't had the brainpower to write yet today, I have been drinking (shhh!) and listening to Marianne Faithfull on 2-CD set. That combination would be enough to drive weaker mortals to slit their wrists, but - ha! - I am made of sterner stuff. I have also been editing images, including a spiffy new splash on the Alewife Bayou top page and some new faces for the postcards. You'll notice I haven't gone back and replaced all the old faces. Actually [ahem] I did - it takes only a second with my fancy editor - and then I had to go undo the change. Because, you see, the expressions didn't match! I didn't take any pains in particular to make the same set of expressions, much less keep them in the same order, and if some new reader saw a grumpy postcard accompanied by the grinning face, he or she might well think I had lost my mind, or that I have a very sick sense of humor at the least. Both of which are true, sometimes ... but why should I encourage the belief? So you'll see the new faces gradually ... unless you know how to cheat and trick Heliotrope into showing you all twenty. Enjoy the new coat of paint. Same old words, of course.
