Once AGAIN I did not get a MacArthur Grant.
Shit.

  1. I don't know....but I totally thought of you today because I went to the Zoo and I've been there a zillion times before and never once seen a chicken and today....what did I see? I saw TWO chickens and I took a photo. I'll post later. For You Mrs. Moon, you may not have gotten the grant but I took photos of two chickens just for you!

  3. I had the same thought about myself. Damn. Maybe next year we'll get nominated together?

  4. Rebecca- Well, that's almost as good as half a million dollars.

    rebecca- I'm still overwhelmed.

    Elizabeth- I'll nominate you if you nominate me. Then if one of us wins, we can split it. Deal?

  5. It is a tough time in the grant world. Lots of people competing. Keep trying.

  7. I know what you mean. I think the same thing about myself. Where are all the talented storytellers? This must be a Republican conspiracy. BTW, I once worked for a bipolar medical researcher who tried to nominate himself. It was pretty funny.

  8. Deal. I could really use that $250,000 and I'm sure you could use the other $250,000

  9. Perhaps your ying and yang are at a karmic crossroads.

    All the best, Boonie
