| Today's News About Me |
A photo I took was included in an online guide to Stockholm. Yes, I got a real photo credit... except, of course, I didn't get any payment for it (they did ask for permission), but still -- kind of cool!
In further Stockholm news, the new A.C. Newman album has a song called "Submarines of Stockholm." His lyrics are always inscrutable so I don't know what it all means, but it's a good song.
Also, it is entirely possible that my name could be found in President Obama's personal library. A recent article about the books that influenced the president mentions that early in his career, "he found inspiration in Parting the Waters, the first installment of Taylor Branch's multivolume biography of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." Presumably if he liked Parting the Waters, he would have picked up Pillar of Fire, which has my name listed in the acknowledgments. Hey, I didn't spend the prime years of my young adulthood in libraries poring over microfiche and photocopying articles from musty newspapers for nothing!
I had my final visit with the orthopedic surgeon today and I have now fully regained my range of motion in my shoulder. She pronounced me cured. Thank you, cortisone. |

Congrats on the photo credit and arm usage!
-
Woo Hoo! Glad to hear the shoulder unfroze!
-
Yay, now you can really wave in the new era. Congrats on unfreezing.
And, is there a link to the photo?
-
Curiously, I got credit for a couple photos I'd posted at Flickr as well...for some shots of the Kimbell Art Museum in Ft. Worth, TX. I don't have a link handy. Also, supposedly someone's using a shot I took of some signage at the Racine Art Museum in a book. In both cases, they asked permission. It seems as if photo editors realize it's cheaper and easier to troll Flickr and ask permission than hire photographers...
Also: Isn't "Cortisone" a Paul Simon song? (The capcha is "Woometl" - devil horns! devil horns!)

Janet: click on the words "an online guide to Stockholm" in my post and you can see the photo/guide.
-
I am like Janet R, I can't find the link to the photo. The link sends us to several places. I am a little dense, which who is Sue's?
-
Oh dear, I made a spelling error. I meant which one is Sue's. I can't blame it on Meniere's disease, which I usually do, must be the wine.
-
The photo in the right-hand pane, of Berggrens Bokhandel, is Sue's.
-
It's not Berggrens, it's Hedengrens. In my browser, it's visible in the right hand column when I click on the link. If you can't see it, just click where it says Hedengrens in the alphabetical list of bookstores.
