I was running embarrassingly late for my ceramics class.  I estimate an hour and a half late. I was at the corner of 64 and Church and there they stood. Four mid century (heavily used but lightly rusted) lawn chairs.  My head spun “exorcist style” and yet I kept going. Then the itch started. I continued north, but the itch got stronger.  I’m no match for the itch. I made an illegal U in front of the San Raphael library and headed back at break neck speed.  I had to get there before a “Wee Wah Weedah Wagon Bumpity Bump” saw them. In my haste, I left the table behind. The scrap guys got it and I now live with the constant pain of regret.

The phrase “getting it cheap is part of the esthetic” is by my photographer friend D Gorton. I blatantly stole this weekly concept from Petrea over at Pasadena Daily Photo.
