WHAT I DIDN"T DO TODAY

(so far) I didn't go to a 40 year accumulation sale in Evanston, and then I didn't go to Vogue Fabrics to look for a certain color of Ambience lining fabric in the remnant room (I'd found some the other day on a quick drive by).
What I do want to do right now is get outside in the sunshine and read my book for a couple of hours. Sitting in the sun gets you 10,000 units of Vitamin D, twice the daily requirement. Since it's Good Friday, I'm going to try to not eat anything from an animal. So that means an orange, cauliflower, lettuce, cucumber, tomato. All fresh natural foods. If I get crazed for something more, I'll make couscous, and put raisins and nuts in it. I'll also try to get those very-beginning-of-spring photos of my garden. Maybe there will be a magic picture in the bunch. That's what Robert Mapplethorpe called that one good shot - the magic one. I was calling the one good shot the money shot, until one of my friends said that money shot was an expression about porn photos. Which ruined it for me, true or not. OK, I just wiki-ed it, and it's both, originally from feature film makers, but then used by the porn people. I like magic better than money, since magic can encompass money, but money cannot really encompass magic.
I think it's time for me to get outside. I told you this was a blog about nothing.
