About Me
- Gannet Girl
- Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans. What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

Why were you discouraging him from attending the University of Chicago? It is supposed to be an excellent school.
Beautiful picture! I hope that both of your ds have a great year at school.
U of C was one of the places my high school teachers encouraged me to apply. There are times I just want to beat myself with a sledge hammer for NOT going to college... Lisa :-]
They must be a pretty influential university.....they've got math teachers all over the country teaching the "Chicago Math"!
