Rena Easton now led me from the art department to Morrill Hall where once was housed the artwork belonging to the University of Nebraska. Rena pulled me upstairs to the second floor, then like a couple dancing – she released me with a flair onto the wood floor! My beloved muse now began her dance.…

“The rest was, given those involved, what one might expect.” “given those involved” We are talking about my family at our Family Funeral. Christine was our first death in the family. “Hugh Bromily, Khara’s husband and Episcopal priest, conducted the service with taste and dignity. Raphael spoke, along with Karin: two friends from childhood. The…

Before we enter the Museum, let me repost this…. https://rosamondpress.wordpress.com/2013/02/26/what-became-of-rosamonds-biography/ You can tell in the photos Christine loved me very much. I was very protective of my sister. When I was in my studio working on a painting, I heard Christine screaming. I rushed in the house and found our mother with two fistfuls of…

When I was sixteen Mark Owen and I noticed two girls following us after school. This was Marilyn and Judy. Mark asked me what girl wanted, if and when we made a move. Mark was surprised I was a virgin. I chose Marilyn. “That’s who I want!” Mark said. A couple of days later, Mark…

I watched Cats last night. I was reminded of Maenads who worshiped Dionysus whose mother was Peresphone in one legend. Born of in the bowels of Hades?

Christine died before she met…

This morning I got down on my floor and consulted the I-Ching by throwing three coins six times. I read hexagram 53 DEVELOPMENT. “The maiden is given in marriage” I was looking for the hexagram I threw after the home invader left with our tiny T.V. “Why did you give him our T.V. knowing he…

I was watching a car commercial and saw a Rena look-alike in it. ‘The Italians are coming’ is out of this post I made over two years ago. Maserati Sunset Rena and I sat on our hillside watching the western sky turn into a rainbow, and then beheld the first stars appear in the thalo…

Check out the Bling on the Beast who has captured Beauty and is keeping her like his Bitch. Is this a case of a walk-on taking over the body of man who is freed by the love of a woman? Here again is the Phantom of the Opera theme. Jon Presco

“In the living room there were red velvet chairs and long-stemmed roses in a vase. A violin hung on the wall. Logs were crackling and popping in the fireplace.” “Suddenly the house was awash in the glare of headlights. There were voices outside. Would they arrive in a battered Volkswagen” It is now clear that…
