I'm back out on First Friday in Old City Philly with HopArt for sale. I will have a table of new art in the south courtyard of Christ Church at 2nd and Market. 5pm-8pm.

today the team I've loved since a kid signed that dog-killer Vick...in my principle I can't support them.

so..a few weeks ago I was at the Philadelphia Zoo and while leaving saw the name William Camac on a sign. I said to the person I was with, that the name was the same as someone buried in my burial ground. So when I was at the Christ Church Burial Ground which I am in charge of, I looked at the dates on Camac's gravestone and the timeline seemed right. I found in our burial records that Dr. William Camac was buried in the Lawrence vault on April 7th, 1900.

I am only happy when I am among the dead people whose memory I keep alive and protect. They never let me down.
