NOTES: Natalie Merchant's song "The Ballad of Henry Darger" is about  a reclusive American writer and artist. After he died in 1973, a 15,145 page, single-spaced fantasy manuscript called The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What isKnown as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion was discovered. Outsider art!!!!!

      Scientists are studying a facial muscle in certain dogs which helps them raise their eyebrows. It's the look that makes us melt.  They call it "AU101: inner eyebrow raise." It makes them adoptable. I'm working on it. "A little bit quizzical, maybe a bit sad, a bit anticipatory...."

     Until next time!  Peace.
