afterword

yesterday, i labeled my post with three hash marks (# # #), the traditional writer's symbol for the end of a manuscript. Barring a series of afterwords, this entry marks the end of the blog Grandfather's Shirt (pleatedmile.blogspot.com). The adventure leading to that last post felt like the culmination of a chapter in my life, and, in a parallel way, the chapter of Grandfather's Shirt.

Now, i'm ready to take some time off as the year closes; I'll post word as another blog comes to birth, perhaps with the new year.

My missing yellow pencil found its way back to me, and i press it furiously to paper in many of my works of art. i press it here with the same love.
