If you haven't submitted your work for the Pelicans show at the Southern Coos Hospital, you're too late. Yes, you could throw yourself on the mercy of Susan Lehman or Victoria Tierney and they might let you sneak in a late entry, but at the rate the pelicans were arriving yesterday, you are out of luck. The birds were thick as shoppers at a Christmas sale and everyhwere the boids flocked there were Susan and Victoria. You do know that Victoria does all of the hospital shows and Susan is her consigliere.
The birds came in every style and color of the rainbow, some so realistic you could reach out and stroke their feathers and some so fanciful that they would make Mr. Spock say, "Fascinating."
And if you were there at just the right moment you could have seen Kelle Herrick, the master bird photographer and the soul behind the conception of this show. Of course if you're a photographer you just want to slash your wrists after seeing Kelle's latest masterpiece, but life is hard and then you die. And there's always room for a second place.
Don't let envy keep you from the reception, there's room for almost as many people as there are pelicans. So come and bring your friends. They'll thank you for it and you can bask in the smugness being right brings. Who knows, rubbing elbows with so many gifted artists might just rub off and if it doesn't there is so much to see you're likely to get a creative kick-start anyway.
So much going on in your corner of the grand Nor'West! Your bloggin' boggles my noggin and makes me want to skip out of Maine and join you. Carry on until I get there.
