Art History 101 Without the Exams
'Art History 101 Without the Exams' is an academic textbook that is written by Annie Montgomery Labatt. This is a textbook that to me read just like a novel. The book starts out looking at prehistoric art all the way to modern art. The technical format of the book is fine print on glossy pages, but still easy to read. The images in the book are bright and vivid and shows the reader what the artists saw and did during the times of their lives.

the gifts
Gifts from my parents, like my first heavy bag and wraps, often came as solutions to what was given to me in far more precious and formative years. They bought stuff to solve the problems that came with these early, less material gifts. I remember most fondly the Everlast blend of poly-foam in leather that hung from the basement of my childhood home. It was a later offering to temper The Rage–one of Mother’s first gifts to me.

The Last Trip
As our eyes met, I remember last Autumn. Being empathic individuals, we both knew the end was coming soon. You had never been afraid of the vet in your entire life. There was no reason at all for you to be shaking like a leaf for so long after we left the office. Like all dark and hurtful thoughts, I pushed it dismissively out of my mind.
