I haven't had much time to do anything other than research and writing. I have been so obsessed with my work that I've forgot to take a shower the past couple days and I've only left the house twice; to go get coffee and beer.

Agghh, I think I am becoming one of "those people."

Yup. That's how it starts.

Wow, you're obsessed with Mark Rothko.
We should start a group or something 'cause me too.
I remember driving through DC a few years ago and having to stop cause it was just so damn hot and then discovering that the National Gallery was having a Rothko retrospective.
I had no idea it was there.

I see Bacon and Calder on your list too.
If I was in a braggin mood I'd send you a pic of my living room.
OK, I'll brag. I have 3 Rothko prints, a Bacon and a Calder mobile. (oh all fakes of course!!) .... I wish!

Kudos to your author taste too.
But how come no music??

So do you think you'll stay in Canada for good now?

I'm feeling lazy, so I will just post my favorite news report. This is why I love anthropology:

Panic at Nigerian 'killer calls'
Nigerian mobile phone users have been anxiously checking who is calling them before answering them in recent days. A rumour has spread rapidly in the commercial capital, Lagos, that if one answers calls from certain "killer numbers" then one will die immediately....

The Secret Nature of Fire:

I have always thought of fire as nature's television. The countless hours I have spent in front of campfires out backpacking or when I was teaching survival in the Utah desert confirms my belief, as when the sky darkened and a fire was struck all around would come and face the fire in silent contemplation.

It wasn't until a backpacking...

I used to love to watch the fire as a kid; I'm less enthusiastic about the TV.

Just to get things started, I thought I would copy some thoughts here that I wrote today for someone:

I just got back from a conference in the wonderful city of Montreal. I stayed in an inexpensive little hotel in the Latin Quarter. Despite the fact that it was near the central bus station (bus station = unique "diversity") and there was a pimp and...
