Our four new, gorgeous, mint trunkers: l-r Laura, Conor, Lauren (LoGo), Biz (Elizabeth). So completely amazing.
Trunk auditions were last weekend: two full days of playing with kids our age and trying to figure out who is best going to communicate the joy and silliness to kids in preschool and day care around the Boston area. It's so much fun and such a wonderful chance for concentrated time with Trunk - an indescribably large part of why I'm back in Boston - but it's also tough work.
Tough, that is, until we run around campus after 7 hours of deliberations on Sunday night, tricking the new Trunkers (4 this time) into meeting us for some innocuous when in reality, the roving lot of us are there to kidnap them to take them away for - secret things. Glorious!

I had a rare opportunity to get my heap under a professional light box. In between the "real" photos the professional was taking, I snapped this gem.

Elephant Trunk Hill stands majestically in the downtown area of Guilin city, at the junction of the Li River & the Peach Blossom River . The name was chosen because the hill looks like a giant elephant dipping its trunk into the river. The green water of Li River in front of it and the clear spring at the foot make Elephant Trunk Hill one of the most famous hills in Guilin City .
Elephant Trunk Hill is regarded as the symbol of Guilin . Originally named "Li Hill", "Yi Hill" and "Chenshui Hill", the hill is 3.6 hundred million years old. The hill towers 55m above the Li River, measuring 108m in length and 100m in width and has an elevation of 200m above sea level.
The Elephant Hill has several features: - Water Moon Cave (Shuiyue dong), Elephant's Eye Stone, and Pagoda for Puxian and Yunfeng Temple .
Water Moon Cave is at the riverside with water of Li River flowing through. It looks like a full moon floating on the surface of the water with the moonlight reflected on the waves. Over 70 inscriptions from the Tang and Song dynasties were found on the walls in and around this cave, praising the beauty of hills and waters nearby.
On top of the hill stands a pagoda named Puxian Pagoda. Built in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), it looks like the handle of a sword. There are many carvings and inscriptions inside and outside the cave. The most well-known one is a poem by Lu You (1125-1210), one of the four great poets of the Southern Song dynasty (1127-1279).http://www.movose.com/english/hotel/Guilin/78.html

A truck without a cover(or tailgate up) generates air turbulence, and can't be good for aerodynamics, which the Lennart Namarrkun needs. So here's an aerodynamic truck cover. Off when you need to haul stuff around, on when you want to kick ass at the track!
Still blue GP38-2 (not really that rare up here) #4917 pulls L500 around the Port Huron wye out of Durand yard, passing the GTW caboose on display. The caboose has since been repainted.
The trunk of doll body, suitable for all 1/3 girl heads. The frame and the little angel in her stomach are demountable. There is also a 3D wings tattoo on her back.

I have read that the distractions and addictions we play with are the branches and leaves of a tree. The trunk of the tree is called codependence, a ridiculous word with no relationship by meaning to the word that makes it up. The sinister root of the addiction tree is shame. You can look up addiction tree on google and you will find many ads for rehab centers that have the diagram to see. The tree gets a bad rap, I think, even though the metaphor might be useful. Codependence. It's an annoying word. What it tries to convey is that the person who is riddled with and rooted in shame looks outward for some sense of his own worth, which is not forthcoming out there, because it is inherent anyway. Anyway, when that fails, all the shiny leaves start to look good, and are good, for a while. Who knows, maybe they are good for a long time or forever. Let's not judge.
Anyway. Anywho. This is not a post about addiction. Think of something else please.
When I am looking for a vocabulary to describe what I aspire to be, a tree comes to mind. Rooted, connected; growing curiously upward and strong; from a solid footing, playing in the wind.
