G FOR GENIUS!

Orson Welles was born on this day
94 years ago...

...lightening never strikes twice.

SURF WISE

Just came across these delightful little surf
paintings by Raymond Pettibon.

Simple and sweet,

and overpowering glowing with the big blue!

Happy 50th Birthday Mr. Mac the Mouth!

Sorry we have been listening

to far too much of The Fall

to be arsed with the whole

online publishing biz....

We were the loneliest sail boat adrift

Followed by only the wind and sea shift

We were the last boat to grasp sun

Warmed but cool sharing with no one

Silent as gulls had long since passed

Still as sail hung from worn mast

Won't you please swim to join us here

We will reach into blue raising you dear

Up aboard our solemn deck to rest

Thanking you for your diligent test

Now we could be two to share this light

Beholding all that the sea offers us in sight...

VIVA VIDAL!

We love this man here at the Chic Shack!
After reading his two part autobiography
and drifting through his vast literary output,
bumping in to his various film cameos, and here in an
interesting online doc,
we decided the world needs to pay more
attention to this holy scholar and wise sage!
Please educate yourself on his majesty!
