Day 27: Billy

made a chai with milk (better known as a "chai latte") for me today here in the blue city of New Haven...



See how we're both kinda crooked? It's cause I have an ear infection and I'm walking like I didn't drink my V8. I think my photos' kinda crooked, too. There's a solid kinda geometry going on. Billy was cool; I told him it was Day 27.

I've decided that my postcard planting plot is somewhat...how shall I say...failing? It's like adding a brushstroke of pink acrylic to a canvas that's mostly collage - maybe it will work, but maybe it really won't. This does not mean I have given up, however. I have re-stocked my trusty orange book bag and will carry on. How do I make up for the fallibility/failure? Do I incorporate it into the day by leaving several postcards in one day? Or do I simply extend the project's ending by leaving postcards after the 22nd? Or, do I simply keep the postcards and make something with them?

I think I'll put up a poll and ask folks about what they think I should do. Failure is not an easy thing to reconcile, though in and of itself it is not the dead end we all think it is, either.
