Not read, not play sports, not watch television: work on your art. Of course that's a bit extreme, but he was making a point. The above sign was meant for school children. Reading in public, not everyone can do it. I read in private & public. There's such a pleasure in being absorbed so much in a book that one's surroundings disappear!Sketchbook Wanderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06850319000824866265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680807318635780516.post-69505542936370606072013-09-06T20:21:06.642-04:002013-09-06T20:21:06.642-04:00I checked it out, thanks.

I am still in the throes of it all. Long story. Hopefully I will be settled out west by mid-Sept or late Sept.
