A Difficult Decision

I have an ethical dilemma. I bought some books at a very cool little bookstore today. It should have been 61.75 but I realized later that the credit card slip said 6.17. Now I know it's wrong but I'd like to think of this as a gift. But it's wrong. Wrong. They're an indie bookstore. They're the good guys. So I guess I don't have an ethical dilemma I have a should-I-not-steal dilemma. I'm going to call them tomorrow. I know a lot of things that aren't cool. I'm pretty certain stealing is one of them.

I have this friend who likes vitamin water. His name is New York City.

Speaking of difficut decisions, if I were going to choose between watching the movie Art School Confidential & the city of New York I would have to choose the city of New York. I've had the incredible pleasure of staying with Jon Pack (who by the way was the one that they named teddy bears after (he was named for them as well)). Visited Shelton Walsmith today & had a lovely chat about art & paintings & inspiration. He's a really stunning photographer & painter. It's strange because I think I've heard about him & seen photos of him for about seven years and only now have met him. The photo above is his.

Walked around town, did some looking at buildings but mostly just walked.

Some other things I saw today:
The people & their pigs.
Same old wild cat.
Same old machete.
And the inevitable injection of venom.

At some point in time I'm going to have to explain my love for Fern Jones.
