It was a hot week here in the Old Pueblo. The first load of glazed tiles went to Aurore's studio on Thursday. We finished Lloyd, the second lizard and bisqued Lenny in our kiln. We have a meeting about installation with Lee from Foley's Tile on Monday morning.

We had a great and extended show of fireworks from Tucson Country Club Estates on the 4th. We have a front seat spot from our house. For years people have shown up from all over town and park wherever they can, and this year was no exception. It's one of the best free shows in town. The best fireworks I've seen in recent memory was in Kiel in 2004 when we visited my sister Silvana. They were dedicating a new pier. Scores of swimmers carrying torches made their way to the beach before the fireworks began. I hadn't seen anything like it since I was at Disneyland on the 4th of July in the 80's.
I was just too tired to go to the Reid Park pottery class tonight. I've started dreaming about the tiles and lizards.....................so I'm working in my sleep now.

Caught some of the acts on Live Earth-Genesis, Melissa Ethridge, John Mayer, end of UB40. Billy Corgan was amazing!!

Still managing to paint almost everyday.
