I thought I commented on this several days ago. What happened? Am I still that technology-imparied? I think I noted that this reminded me of two recently-released to DVD documentaries: “Who the #%&@ is Jackson Pollack” and “My Kid Could Paint That”–both of which are very much worth checking out. As is The Gay Recluse–day after day after day.

How does he do it so consistently? His recent biddy-bioography, posted on April Fool’s Day (hmmmm…) and accompanied by shots of trees, is also quite wonderful. I like his thoughts about the world we live in (esp. his comments on the NY Times columnists and his “appreciation” of the late Arthur C. Clarke) but I REALLY like finding out these little bits and pieces of his past life, the most recent of which actually fills in a lot of blanks.
