Fresh from the Sketchbook
In chronilogical order, these are the first few pages of my sketchbook.Susan









Here's a watercolor of Josh, done somewhere in Montana on our 47 hour trainride from Chicago to Portland on the Empire Builder.



This is a drawing of the Foghorn String Band playing at a bar in Portland called The Moon and Sixpence. Note the beer stain on the previous page...


This is Jon, Josh's best friend from highschool with whom we are staying in Sacramento, CA.

You could win:
--a pun-filled evening with Dhaktors Ooter and Martha McHaggis of St. Andrews, Scotland.
--the bill for a pair of round-trip tickets for the scholars.
--pointers on perfecting your rough Scottish brogue
--the dinner tab
Here, the happy couple can be seen reacting to public fanfare from their last tour of the States. Perhaps you were lucky enough to see them then as they cycled coast to coast reading from their 1994 book, "ReJoyce-ing on the Road With the McHaggises: Collected Joyce-isms from Cork to Vienna."
