It's been quite a bit since the last post. Sorry 'bout that.

I've been out of town.

I went to Lake Brownwood State Park, near the lovely metropolis of Brownwood (home of Howard Payne University), for four days with my parents and sister.

The last time the park was seriously maintained was probably pre-Reagan.

At which time they moved the entrance down the road about 1.5 mi. So we stayed in the old ranger's cabin. That was cool. The whole everything was built by the CCC from '33 to '42, so it was all good fieldstone architecture, kind of Wrightian in places, lots of verandahs and ornate staircases as well. Sort of an oddball place.

But it's all falling into disrepair. The coolest part were the unofficial trails that went through the ruins of what very recently were modern buildings.

We stopped at numerous cemeteries along the way there and back, including Baby Head Cemetery and Macedonia Weedon Cemetary. Both were awesome. I think I'm going to do a Spoon-River-Anthology-type poetry collection this summer, maybe with rubbings or photos, this summer. I figure, I have a car, I have time, I have a book of detailed maps and can get USGS topos, why not be 'culturally-centred' in my art? Maybe I'll become the founder of the Balcones Escarpment School or some Texasy shit like that.

I do love cemeteries.

So we celebrated the New Year by listening to Bohemian Rhapsody in the cabin. Whence the new photos of Alexis and me.

When we got back, after much groaning and complaint on the part of my parents about my driving, I chilled out for a while, then took Brittney to Jim's, then to Sunil's for a spell, then to her house where we played DDR. Then I came home.

So here's to 2003!
