I told you a few days ago: near the end of this series there’d be a little pay-off for regular visitors to arloandjanis.com. As I remember, this is the first appearance of the Cobra-like sports car that prominently and incongruously appears at the top of this blog. In the strip above and every day on the Web, we are left to wonder, “What is Arlo really like?”

Jackie,
Hopper’s humans are not very. The ones in the all-night café don’t have to be, and aren’t close up. But his mastery of light and shadow on bldgs. is unsurpassed, both in paint and drawing. He may not have been a particularly nice man. He married another artist, and I think they stayed married, but some have written that he discouraged her from further painting.
Peace, emb
My proposition to Ghost vanished. Poof! Without photos you might not get banned.
I’ll believe in you if you’ll believe in me. No marriage proposals solicited or required, travel only.
I remember studying Hopper in art classes long ago. I took both art where you created art but also art appreciation where you learned how to visit galleries and museums and like and understand art.
Interesting about fact he mastered artificial light. I remember going to the big Thomas Moran touring exhibit and he was billed as master of light but much more majestic light.
Also, he has one, with a customer or two in it, which depicts a second story Chinese restaurant, the bottom of a vertical Chop Suey sign outside the window. Love it, but have not seen it in the online ads. Peace, emb

Searched ‘Edward hopper Chinese restaurant’ and got several of his restaurant paintings, some of which I’d not seen before. emb
I can do platonic, Jackie.
Debbe 😉 An old song I love, performed by a younger singer I also love…

Writer’s Almanac / 27 Dec. Poem: Hormone City! So true. Also, the item about the immigrant Marlene Dietrich is instructive, especially at the end.

By the time you see this, that site may get you Wr.A. for 28 Dec.

No need to stretch a point!
Good morning Villagers….
Meanwhile, twenty four hours later….it’s still raining. Flood warning everywhere. And it’s Monday. And looking at the ten day forecast, I do believe winter’s here…but on a positive note, at least it’s not snow!!!!
My husband and I received Christmas gifts from Brooklynne Rose and Kyler. I got perfume, which I like as I am very picky about perfume…my passion is Cinnabar by Este Lauder. My husband got two small wooden bird houses which were hand painted by Brooklynne…they were beautiful. Come spring, they will hang on the front porch.
Emb…again I learned something…had to look up doppelganger too. And Miss Dietrich’s performance with the military was so unselfish….she was a ‘trooper’
Back to the hen house….still have not made it to belt repairs as I have been “all by myself”.
Be blessed on this day….
Old Bear’s been missing a couple of days…hope JJ changes the retro soon, or we’ll be locked out of the orphanage soon.
GR 😉 I believe I’m starting to like Jennifer….she can belt out a song. Curiously, I clicked on her performance of The Boss”s “Glory Days”…she does good….but poor Mrs. POTUS, she just doesn’t seem to get it…..I don’t think she even knows who is sitting to her right. Not crazy about Harpers contribution on the second song though.

Oh, and it was orange…remember….those were my glory days 🙂
would that be whole wheat bread there 🙂

Debbe 😉 No, I didn’t forget that “it” was orange; that detail is fixed in my mind. 🙂 Oddly, I used to correspond with “debbie” here about her decision to retire the lavender and white bikinis she wore. (I was opposed, in case you can’t guess.) Strange what gets fixed in one’s mind. Well, my mind, anyway.
Here’s another old song I love, with that younger singer I love. And I may have figured out where her lung-power comes from. 😉

OF: No predictions at present. TIP BlogSpot and comic are identical. Never heard of the painter. Peace, emb

It’s Prussian painter Bernhard Rode’s ‘Painting of the artist with his family.’ Be still, my heart?
Peace, emb

I’m here – Just don’t have computer access (or is that excess) Sat & Sun mostly.
About 5″ of the white stuff – 7-10″ by tomorrow night?
“These days about half the stuff
In my shopping cart says,
‘For fast relief.'”
Haven’t seen the sun in at least 10 days, but I know that we could have it much worse.
OF just blew, folks were leaving. Should be a new prediction by 1300 CST. Off to run errands. Peace, emb

To paraphrase someone (Tamara Keel) on the InterWebNet today, “The Monday-est Monday is the Monday following a Friday Christmas.”
I like the husky[?] and calico kitten best. And what do we immediately know about the kitten?

Ghost: That is particularly true when the Mon. =28 Dec.
Peace, emb
I hope Jimmy is not having flood troubles where he is. I also hope he will change the retro strip before the blog locks us out tomorrow.
It’s Monday, somebody out there needs a laugh: http://www.alphadictionary.com/fun/funny_book_titles.html
Jackie, you might consider have the diabetes info tattooed on your wrist rather than get a bracelet. I have been considering that myself.
Hospital bracelets are interesting. I had noticed that my bracelet had the wrong first name on it (Greg). I brought it to the attention of the nurses before surgery but they didn’t seem interested.
They were trying to wake me after surgery using the name Greg. When I finally opened my eyes and told them they had the wrong name on the bracelet, that is when the poop hit the fan as they scrambled to make sure the correct surgery had been performed.
