RE: London for Stuckism
I love this post!
You are the first person I ever heard say that they like the food in London.
I now know how to pronounce your name:
One man jumps through every hoop. Who is this man? RON THROOP!
Such a funny ode to Ron Throop.
You and Rose sound great together. You are great together. Wonderful to see.
Thank you for showing us such an intimate look at your life and vacay to London.

Ha! I liked most of it, yes. It’s a city of 10 million. There’s got to be some good food about, somewhere. I was a cook/chef for years. I feel so treated when I don’t have to make my own dinner. I’ll be happy with any meal that doesn’t rip me off. Even mashed peas beside fish and chips is okay, if food cost isn’t so low because of greed. I see that you were in the restaurant business too. Owner, chef, maître d’?
Yes, the silent “h”. The bane of my last name throughout childhood, and times when I cared. Thhhroop is okay too. Who puts an “h” after a “t” anyway and says “address me without the “th” sound? Kinda arrogant expectation:)
Charles Thomson (the poem reciter) is the founder of Stuckism. His house (not shown) is full of paintings from floor to ceiling. No exaggeration. A pathway to the couch, bedrooms and bathroom, and only a kitchen that is free of artwork. Thousands of paintings!
Thank you for listening. We weren’t prepared, but pulled it off. Rose has a powerful voice.
I don’t want to travel again without meeting and playing with the natives. What a welcoming!
I was owner/pastry chef/chief bottle washer. I miss the energy of the kitchen, but live happily without the hogwash of the office, which is where the owner ends up, slaving away at paperwork, insurance shopping, and regulation compliance. It comes with nice tax deductions though. I miss those, now that I'm back to being a retired normie, scrambling around trying to find tax deductions so that I am paying less to poison or murder people, mostly brown people, world wide. The whole tax-deferred retirement account thing comes back to bite us in retirement, too. Thankfully, I didn't go that route. I'm at the age where I would lose a nice sum in social security were I to do what I keep suggesting that you do (become a state citizen, not a federal citizen). How hard it is to give up "free" money, especially when it's thousands of dollars a month. I'm thinking about it though, thanks, in large part, to you.
Rose has a gorgeous voice! She's awful good on the harp too! You both rock!
It looks like you were all in heaven at the gathering, raising the frequency of the whole world. It's nice just to know you all exist. May that kind of get-together be frequent for all of you, wherever you go. You attract such.
What's happening in this regard in Oswego? I get kind of close to that town fairly often, close enough to join now and then if possible. Do you have art shows there? I'd love to come.
