My inbox is rattling with people again, a JG Ballard fan with an opinion about Burnt Norton, someone chasing a rumour about their old art master, and a Texan looking for online echoes of his memories of childhood. I shuffle through places I don't usually visit, trying to retrace the steps that brought them to me, fetch up in petloss.com, Personal Tributes 1999, Haku thru Hydrox [mute before you visit!] reading personal tributes to pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge ("making cotton candy" for you Home Movies fans) awed and faintly dsiturbed by the force of love for pets: heartfelt (We were both damaged souls), quirky (We know that you are up in cat heaven begging for cheese), no-nonsense (Hans, thank you for teaching me about dressage), gnomic (Loved to crawl on the keyboard! We miss her!) and full of praise ("He was a 150 proof dog").
There is still too much to do for Caption, and the logistical problems are also stressing me out. The more I think about it the more it feels like an exhibition I could set up in a day rather than an hour. Solution? Break it down for me, baby.
