I have no idea what he's talking about, but it's part of what is going on this unique day on earth. Personally, only two big things are taking place today. Let's get the bad news out of the way first. Today is the End of the World for Arte Fango. The marshalls come tomorrow to insure the eviction of a man and a place that have given a lot of pleasure to a lot of people over the years. Not just charming Jorge and his artistic offerings, but the buildings themselves, charming all on their own, set in a tropical garden that Jorge and friends have added to and encouraged over the years.

So what do we do when faced with disaster? We have a party, that's what. So today is The End of the World party at Arte Fango. Come on by and honor what was. Bring something to eat and drink!
The other thing, on a happier note, is Francie's birthday. Since I regard her as one of the goddesses in my life, it is only proper that this day is the day she was born,
No? That's too bad if not. My sister was also named Francie and this was a big hit around our house.
We never did get these though. Alas.
But to me, it looks like a Francie timeline. Except there is nothing in purple, so it must not be that. Weirdly, if you google Francie and purple, there are a LOT of potential picks . Maybe it comes with the name, as my sister Francie's favorite color was also purple. Since they are the only Francie's I know, I can claim empirical evidence that there is a connection between the name Francie and the color purple. That's worth celebrating all by itself, but on 12-12-12, our Francie gets the party!

Have a don't end your world Wednesday! Do something whimsically weighty.
