| Description: | Where is Rongovia? It is between Urdluvia and Moldavia. There is only one map–and it is in the Rongovian Embassy to the U.S.A. in Trumansburg, New York. The originator of the idea of Rongovia refers to it as a state of mind. And so it is for many of us who live, work and create here.” I am a graphic designer and illustrator balancing family, a small business. This blog speaks to my work, my fascinations and foibles, and all the other stuff in the balance including life in a town of less than 2,000. |

IF: Music
There is music in the beauty, and the silent note which Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the sound of an instrument; for there is music wherever there is harmony, order, or proportion; and thus far we may maintain the music of the spheres. Sir Thomas Browne (1605–1682)Religio Medici. Part ii. Sect. ix.

Paul Z. asked me if this teufel was Krampus which prompted an immediate wiki search to find out that yes, this guy could be Krampus. Wiki says:Krampus is a mythical creature who accompanies Saint Nicholas in various regions of the world during the Christmas season. The word Krampus originates from the Old High German word for claw (Krampen). In the Alpine regions, Krampus is represented by an

It has been as if the weather has been asking us forgiveness during the long and mild fall. It was positively balmy for this time of the year--with a cool morning with frost dulling the green grass down to a yellow sage color to the clear skies and warm days that have framed up this fall. Not much rain, not much cold. And here we are, almost at Thanksgiving and the fear of the long winter has
