He pointed out that she just keeps carrying on with her life, sickness or not. My son, fourteen, observed this as she lay her long poodle/retriever nose on the dinner table last night. In short, for her, it is business as usual her focus is still on 'the important things' that people put on static-cling plastic wall decorations in their kitchens: 'Live, love, eat.' That kind of thing. She still perks up when any of the family enter the room. Sick though she is, she is still after table scraps and she is still addicted to affection in the form of ear-scratches and cuddles. It's a meditation on wisdom and innocence.

My first (typical and self-disappointing) reaction to my students not having ever heard of Norman Rockwell was to think of it as a deficiency in the kids. He is, of course (of course?) Norman Rockwell.

That guy,' if I show you a picture of his work. I'm guessing you know him if you are my age and that - based on some anecdotal evidence I gathered yesterday while teaching my classes - if you are under the age of twenty, you have no idea who he was or, that, even if I mention his name, you still don't know who he was. You might know what famous American illustrator lived there. We spent a weekend in Stockbridge Massachusetts, in New England's beautiful Berkshires. View from 'Laura's Tower,' The Berkshires.
