A companionable walk on the beach. Taking photos for Griff's Mother. Making breakfast together. Morning sun on the patio table. The sound of the waves lapping on the beach. Shopping for Sunday dinner in a small town supermarket: steaks, baking potatoes, sour cream, the makings for spinach, pecan and apple salad; popcorn and beer for watching the Raiders play the Seahawks. Watching Jim Plunkett throw perfect passes to Napoleon McCallum, Frank Hawkins, Dokie Williams, Todd Christensen, and the forever replayable pass to Jessie Hester.

At home on Monday. Recalling Griff's shock when she described the altering of discarded library books that would occur in the studio during the "breaking the codex" class, Caydance packed the slides for Tuesday's class, remembering his interest in the works she showed him in response. The journey through waterways of Basia Ireland's books made of ice. Barton Benes' Censored Book, tied with rope, nailed, gessoed, painted. Process. The way Doug Beube was in his words "pushing the physical properties of the book."
