damn! that is nice! I have always wanted one of those.
I love the bits of branch and green on it--quite a work of art.

did your friend wait until first frost to cut it down? how did he know when it was safe to do so?

It was abandoned the year before, I think...

GGP: 24th Feb 2006 - 15:51 GMT

and believe it or not, I once saw one of these going for more than $100 in a hip little shop in SoHo...

Abandoned? More like the law of eminent domain.

I just realized the full meaning of the "actually" at the front of jack's last response. No worries, jack, I figured out very quickly that you are a decent gentleman-type, so I knew that you were not criticizing. I was merely making a play on words. Sorry if there was any misunderstanding, and thank you for your wit and wisdom, coupled with your occasional forays into "outside the box" thought. You help to keep things light around here, as far as I can see.

ha ha thx, i guess i've seen too much anger and violence in my day's in brooklyn and to escape the memories i turn to laughter. life is short. we don't pay attention to it when were younger and healthier and we are working, earning money and positions and paying bills and raising a family or starting or just being there, doing our thing and slowly, very slowly, without notice or sound, time passes, each second dissapearing as we think, write, read, breathe. the seconds compress into minutes and then hours. then a day is finished and we start another. so look at people around you, remember their faces, their voices, their hair and skin. their hands and eyes. soon they won't be with you and like i always tell my children, 'things change'.

I couldn't agree more with Jack's statement. Life does go by fast. I'm just learning to appreciate the finer things in life.

My 'hood in Kahnawake, where the hornet's nest came from. Jeff's house is in the photo, but in the interests of his privacy, I will not specify which one.
