It's what I'm banking on at this stage in my life: the vision thing. I'm giving up fretting about the talent thing and the gift thing. I know that I <em>see</em> stuff. So I'm just trying to show'n'tell and holler, "Lookee! Lookee!" And: to get back to Mary's participation in the Thing-a-day thing, a short while back I embarked on my own private thing-a-day thing, and I called it Cock-a-Day because every day I drew a kind of blind sketch of a cock that's on a decorative plate that sits on my mantle. I had Andrew's post about <a href="http://www.clusterflock.org/2007/01/a-boy-and-his-rooster.html" rel="nofollow">A Boy and His Rooster</a> in mind, and I do want to draw a cock especially for Andrew. But I've only drawn two or three cocks since I resolved to draw a cock a day. Still, I commenced to draw a cock just a minute or so ago, then broke off to comment, so if y'all will excuse me, I will go and finish my cock. Well, Lucy, that’s good to hear.

Campbell’s has created a frozen, microwaveable version of that! So I know that flash-freezing a loose-meat sandwich is possible; I just don’t know how to do it."

Is there such a thing as <a href="http://www.clusterflock.org/2008/04/open-letter-to-michael-grant-smith-and-kathy-hilen-smith.html" rel="nofollow">loose-meat space</a>? If there is, that's what got in my way. In a sorta metaphorical way. The way things fell apart that afternoon, it was almost like some fiction by Daryl Scroggins, you know? But I'm awful glad Lucy will be posting the recorded chin-wag. I'll prolly jump in with a comment or two, and I look forward to joining the next meeting <em>viva voce</em>.
