A Luminous Halo

"Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end." --Virginia Woolf

Steward of the Pascal Emory house, an 1871 Second-Empire Victorian; of Sylvie, a 1974 Mercedes-Benz 450SL; and of Taz, a purebred Cockador who sets the standard for her breed.

Chromefest

Another day on the set of The Box, this time in Milton, Mass. Here's Silvie with all of her 70s-era friends on the lawn at Milton Academy. In the movie, Cameron Diaz plays a teacher at a school in Virginia. Milton Academy is supposed to be that school. No scenes today on the campus, though. After signing in here, we were off to Lantern Lane, a residential street nearby where Cameron's supposed to live.

An old friend of mine from graduate school used to teach at Milton Academy. She lived for a time in a big house on campus, surrounded by a huge lawn, so she said, where her black lab, Lucky, liked to romp. The stately building just out of camera range of this shot would seem to be that house. I can certainly picture my black dog having a hell of a good time running around here. But she'll just have to wait for her own movie.
