A happy 237th birthday to the United States Marine Corps, with many of whom I had the honor to serve when I was in the Navy. That's me below with two Leathenecks in Beirut, Lebanon in 1983.

“Evidence” by Lori Anne Boocks
EXHIBITION DATES: October 31 - November 24, 2012
First Friday Reception: Nov. 2, 6:30 – 8:30 PM
Opening Reception: Nov. 10, 4 – 6 PM
WHERE: Studio Gallery, 2108 R Street N.W. Washington, DC 20008
Lori Anne Boocks's solo show at Studio Gallery is a dynamic exploration of
the power of stories and memory. In her acrylic paintings, she renders
text in expressive charcoal and forces the personal to become universal.
Words are rehashed, reworked, and stripped down to the bone then built
up again. Layers of color are added and partially removed to become a
lens through which she shares her cache of stories and invites viewers
to reflect upon their own.
By
documenting the past, she is gathering evidence: Evidence to describe
what a memory looks like and how it changes over time. Evidence from the
little crime scenes of our lives and the things we walk away from—or
the things we can't. Through these works, Boocks offers visible proof of
the significance of the many moments that make up our lives while
questioning her own remembrance of events.

Aren't you glad we're not China?
In a timely contrast to our amazing and free democratic elections, which no matter how much unjustified bitching the left wing nuthouse makes about non-existent "voter supression" or the right wing conspiracy makes about the equally non-existent "illegal voters", are the cleanest and fairest in the world, tomorrow on November 8, the transfer of control for the Chinese Communist Party from Chinese President Hu Jintoa and Prime Minister Wen Jiaboa, core of a fourth generation pre-appointed leaders, will take place and transfer to Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang.
In the People's Republic of China, no one has a say in this process other than the very, very few at the top.
Glad to be an American and a prayer to the billions of Chinese who live with a ChiComm boot on their neck.
