not marooned
Virginia Tech is receiving a wonderful benevolence from other universities and organizations. Columbia sent every RA on campus personalized cards and stuffed Lions, their trademark mascot. Cracker Barrel put together an enormous “home-cooked” breakfast for all RAs; to my chagrin, the only vegetarian selection was biscuits, but I was thankful, just the same. Other groups have reached out for which we are humbled.
For the continued contact from friends and family: Thank you.
Thursday I was able to spend some time in studio thinking and doing. Five hours later, I had a new print drying.
I keep that dish dryer on my desk because it is a great utility for propping papers and getting strange looks.
It was really nice to make maroon paint.
Also: I forgot to mention that I added many photos, some very old and some very not. The (newer photo) sidewalk was bloodied from Kevin Sterne’s wound in his leg; you may have heard his story on the news, but Kevin saved his life by applying a semi-tourniquet around his thigh after a bullet pierced the artery there. Some groups on campus have dubbed Kevin with the highest honors of awesomeness.

I can’t believe that Cracker Barrel didn’t bring any potatoes with that breakfast. That’s just not right.

“Not marooned” is a good way to put it, because there are a whole lot of us out here who are praying for you and your classmates on a daily basis.
Oh, and I like the dishrack-for-papers thing. It would be even funnier if, whenever you move off campus, you used something like this to dry dishes in your kitchen sink.
