joy #86 of Homemade Ginger and Lemon Tea 8x8, watercolour, March 28, 2009

1) Peel, then cut some ginger into little hunks.

2) Dump them into a pot of water. Boil for about 5-10 minutes.

3) Dump everything into a tea pot.  Strain into individual cups. (You can chew the  ginger + eat it if you like the taste.) 

4) Squeeze some lemon into your cup.

5) Add honey if you want.  

This tea has a real bite.  Ginger, lemon + honey have powerful components that boost the immune system.

Arlington, Virginia, March 24, 2009

I was totin' my pack along the long dusty Winnemucca road,
When along came a semi with a high an' canvas-covered load.
"If you're goin' to Winnemucca, Mack, with me you can ride."
And so I climbed into the cab and then I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand.
And I said, "Listen, I've traveled every road in this here land!"

[Chorus:]
I've been everywhere, man.
I've been everywhere, man.
Crossed the desert's bare, man.
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've been everywhere.

Okay, unlike Johnny Cash, I didn't cross the desert's bare, man, but I've been to New York State, New Jersey, Delaware, Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania + Vermont + saw lots and lots of art + it was wonderful + I'd do it for the next year if I could afford the time, money + there was a way of bringing good dog Angus along.  The best thing about traveling, duh-uh, is seeing new things + places + making personal discoveries, which hopefully will re-appear, regurgitated in future art...

Hudson Valley, New York, (Vanderbilt Mansion) March 20, 2009

in the lamenting of the death of a exceptional person, the tragedy of it, the injustice...there is in the passing a heartfelt sense that to honour the death of a good person one strives instinctively to become a better person...what else is there to do?
