Boy Child

I fell off the map just for a moment.

I just spent a little while trolling the archives- perhaps having Elijah Lee here is the reason, a prod towards memory, construction of past and present, reckoning of mortality and all that- and this is what I came up with.

Ancient is such a strange concept. I once took guitar lessons from a guy that played in a jazzy, progressive world music group called Ancient Future. The neck of his guitar was scalloped so that he could play notes that don't even exist. He was pretty good and needed that many more notes, I guess. Good band name.

So these pictures feel ancient but they're not necessarily so. Unless you're an insect or a small boy child. Then they are.

I miss all of you and will see you soon. There are some egregious omissions here, and we hope to remedy that tout suite.
