MyGreat-Grandmother’s Caned Chair

My-G-G-Grandmother’s-Caned-Chair, originally uploaded by calebism.

My father sent this pic and wrote:

“I am attaching a photo of my grandmother Stella Pryor’s rocker. I rebuilt it from scraps about 1957 in Cleveland Hts, and then when your grandfather Phillips was visiting, I re-caned the chair, myself. Now, 52 years later, it came apart and I paid to have it done. It is now ready for sitting and rocking. One of you should get it when Evie goes to the old folks home.
Do you recall this chair?”

My question is, what will Stepmom Evie sit in when she goes to the old folks home if my sis or I get this chair? Had you considered this issue?

Greetings From Roser Park, Florida

caleb — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 13:57:55 +0000

At least 2 of the 101 Photos of Roser Park, St Petersburg have been used as references for paintings so far. As I have previously stated, by midsummer my use of color becomes deranged from the heat and I will not return to a reasonable palette until January. This is not really a choice. It is more like a mineral deficiency or something.

The Upgraded Booker Creek Park, St Petersburg, Florida

caleb — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 15:42:23 +0000

Booker Creek Park, which for all intents and purposes was useless until its 2007 revamp, sits behind (north) of Edward White Hospital, between 9th Ave N and 13th Ave N, just west of the 275 Freeway. Although it lacks mature trees and shade is sparse, it is a fine and underutilized lakeside park with observation piers, a playground close to 13th Ave N, and a .75 mile paved walking/jogging track. The roar of the freeway is tolerable on the West side of the park, which butts up against the site of a former (now empty and pleasant, but up for sale) trailer park. I find myself taking my little dog there more and more often, feeling he is probably safer there from from pitbull attacks than at Crescent Lake Park, although Booker Creek Park (not to be confused with “Brooker Creek” in North Pinellas County) does look like prime urban alligator habitat. Which is part of its charm, actually.

St Pete Artist Robert Epstein At Interior Motives Gallery

Multi-talented sculptor, painter and printmaker Robert Epstein is opening this weekend in downtown St Pete. Robert is a very well-informed and genial fellow, and I advise you to go and take up some of his time. Oh, and buy art.

INTERIOR MOTIVES presents ……..WOMAN, WONDER, WATER

New Works by Robert Bruce Epstein
A Benefit For CASA – Community Action Stops Abuse
20% Of All Proceeds Donated To CASA

Water, sky, earth, human and architectural images are the foundation of Epstein’s creations. His work explores natural and man-made forms through a synthesis of visual languages. Epstein’s latest series of paintings evokes a new consciousness through vibrant expressionistic imagery and abstraction.

Epstein’s paintings and sculpture appear in corporate and private collections in the United States and Europe, and include large-scale public works in California and Florida. New York Times art critic, Bill Zimmer, selected Epstein as one of Florida’s top 30 artist. “Islands in the Dream” from Epstein”s TROPiKON series is in the permanent collection of the Gulf Coast Museum of Art , Largo, Florida.

Epstein’s formal training includes study at Port Royal Academy, Paris, The Corcoran School, Washington, D.C., Tulane University, New Orleans, LA., and the American Film Institute. He received his degree from The George Washington University and in 2002 moved his studio, HIGHSTONE, to St. Petersburg, Florida.

Riding The Express Train To Identi.ca

caleb — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 15:31:16 +0000

Sometimes, fun stuff like this makes getting up on a hot Tampa Bay morning– featuring a tropical-fish-tank atmosphere, giant flying roaches and that more-of-the-same-for-five-more-months dread– worthwhile. This guy name-checks like a pro.
Somehow, I don’t think the train really stops at Identi.ca…

Recycling Old Computers To Fight Isolation, Ignorance and Poverty

When I was back in PDX 2000-2002, I used the wonderful FreeGeek outlet for bits of hardware I lacked. Naively, I assumed that every town had a program that recycled old computers, installed a free operating system (Linux) and put them back into the hands of people who couldn’t afford hardware and proprietary software. Clearly, I was wrong.
Goddamn, we need a FreeGeek “franchise” or something like it here in the Tampa Bay Area. The FreeGeek mission statement is:
FREE GEEK is a 501(c)(3) not for profit community organization that recycles used technology to provide computers, education, internet access and job skills training to those in need in exchange for community service.
Recycling, education, job skills, and internet access for the people who need it most! What could be better than that?
