Paging Dr. Carli

Congratulations to Carli! On June 5, she became an M.D.! Jesse and I attended her graduation from the University of Washington in Seattle. It was pretty cool. Now Hersh and Carli are off to Houston, TX where she will ensure her residency (think Scrubs) at Baylor Medical Center. If Texas is still there, that is. The news shows it washing away this week after five days of rain. You know…if Colorado could get ONE day of the kind of rain they have in the South, I think the drought problems would go away.

 

Art Wars

Tonight I am going to “Art Wars”, an art show created by my office-mate and friend Gwin. Gwin recently moved here from Indianapolis, and unsatisfied with the Colorado Springs art scene, she decided to get busy on her own. Art Wars is her second art show here in town. Basically, she got some sponsors and put together a collection of performance artists, poets, musicians and paintings. All will be on display tonight at 32 Bleu.

During the night, six paintings will be done on site, to be auctioned off at the end of the night. Any painting that is NOT auctioned off gets a spin on the Wheel of Death. The Wheel of Death will determine HOW that piece of art gets DESTROYED on stage…example methods of execution are chainsaw and axe.

Anyway, it is pretty cool because all the money she raises is going to a center that benefits disadvantaged kids by introducing them to the arts. So if you are in town, check it out starting at 6:30 PM!

 

You never call anymore

I used to have a friend named Carli,
Who wrote poems ’bout chicken soup and barley.
She moved in with a guy named Hersh T
And now she hardly ever talks to me…

All I want is a simple hello!
To hear about her Thanksgiving jello.
And maybe about her school and work,
But she must think Im some kind of jerk!

‘Cause she never calls, and barely writes -
Haven’t heard from her for 40 days and nights!
Claims that she ‘lost my number’ - lame excuse!
Too busy ‘remodeling’ in the theme of ‘Moose’

To call - but that is ok, I’ll be here, alone…
Staring at my non-ringing phone.
We were supposed to get old, and buy an RV
And see the Grand Canyon, Des Moines, and Poughkeepsie

But now that I know that you’re taken and all
I’ll settle for a lousy telephone call
Do you need me to send you a telephone card?
Just dial down the center, it isn’t that hard!

And so I wait patiently for this friend in Seattle
To give a holler, a smoke signal, some kind of rattle!
Alas, I feel she’s forgotten my face…
Not to mention the bike crash, bad perm, Cookie Place.

 

NYC 2003

Spent the weekend in New York!  This was a pretty good trip - went with Kelly, Will, and some other friends.  Pictures are posted in the gallery.  Saw “Rent” on Broadway (excellent), stayed at a f-a-a-a-ncy hotel (several of us in one room brought the cost down considerably!) and dodged peace protestors left and right as we window shopped.  Also saw the WTC site.
