Maxim of the Week



In her latter years as school band director, Mrs. Pendergrast found that she really didn’t mind having lost most of her hearing.
Maxim:
It’s music to my ears.

  4. I've heard of the blind leading the blind; is this a case of the deaf leading the tone deaf ?

  6. julie,
    I have such fun watching these characters appear under my pen. They each have their own fashion sense and distinct personality...though I wonder if they're like dream imagery, all an aspect of the Self. Now where's that damn earring?

    Marginalia,
    A case of covering one's ears and singing "Falalalala, I can't hear you!" ?

    DCW,
    Haven't we all experienced a Mrs. Pendergast at some point in our school years? I remember as a very young child, there was a certain "old" woman who sang very loudly at church, and somehow I was always seated in front of her. She had the worst voice and taught singing!

    Owen,
    That should be a new maxim! It could perhaps be applied to old soundmen who amp old rockers' comeback shows these days.

    Nancy,
    I'm just waiting for the day that cat's eyes glasses make a comeback...preferably the ones with rhinestones.

  9. Leovi,
    What an excellent attitude and approach to making art. If it pleases one's self, it is bound to please someone else. I like that! Though I know one can't please everyone. To touch only one person is a gift in itself.

  10. Sharmon,
    You might want to take a page from Mrs. Pendergast's book...I mean literally...to use it in a collage! (or scrunched up for ear plugs?)
