Morning Report 8/26

8/26/2014

Mark's off on his morning hike after an about face. The path he usually takes along the waterway hasn't been mowed, and it's waist high with luxuriant plants (and ditto snakes, no doubt) right now. Plan B takes him along a beautiful country road, with horses, cows, egrets, and hawks for company.

Meanwhile, since it's such a pleasant morning, I'm cooking up some tofu w/some herbs in white truffle oil. The oil has a garlicky taste and is very interesting. Since we've been reading some Michael Pollan books, and revisiting a very yellowed copy of "Diet for a Small Planet", we're in a "back to basics" mode and it'll come in handy for something or other later today.

This is our most recent album purchase. We heard "Sleeping with a Friend" on the radio, and bought the album immediately. That doesn't happen very often! As Mark fans, you'll most likely LOVE the lead singer's (Tyler Glenn) phrasing, breathiness, and the way he holds his notes. It's very reminiscent of Mark's, such that if I heard it on the radio without knowing what Mark was up to, I'd listen for a minute to see if, maybe....

And how can you not appreciate lyrics like "it takes a vivisection just to understand your heart" (Love In the 21st Century)? Especially if you've grown up on gems like "
Polyglas shoes for traction" (The Judge)? And his oooh-oooh's are ALMOST on a par with the master! ~ Deb

Casanova, Mark, and a famous photographer?

8/8/2014

I just started reading this book on Casanova's life. I'm not sure how it found its way to me, but I figured it was worth a try. All I knew was that Casanova bedded a lot of ladies, and well, basically I had previously branded him a "dog" of his era. I haven't gotten far enough into the book to recommend it or not, but so far he seems like quite a kind, nice guy (usually) who had some "issues". However, the reason I bring it up in the blog was that when I saw the photo in the frontispiece, I was immediately struck how much it resembled (in style, at least, not to mention ponytails) the famous profile shot taken of Mark for the Vogue layout in 1967. The Casanova drawing is an iconic representation of the man, and I wonder if the photographer was channeling some 60s rock star similarities when he posed Mark....hmmmm? ~ Deb
