A Henry wall


[Henry, February 9, 2015.]

In the Henry world, all walls are lath and plaster. No drywall allowed.

Given the blog proximity of "college as vodka" and Henry's wall, might one think to get lathered and plastered in the faculty lounge?

Lounge? What lounge?

I erred and strayed. Lunge, used as a verb to invoke imagery of the sport of penned-manship.

Henry's footstool is exactly what we couldn't find in any of the furniture stores we went to a couple of weeks ago!

Elaine, are you suggesting that we move into the comics?

One notices the cartoon footstool shows only three legs. Is this as tribute to the three rocks? Pour me a triple....

We lived in a lath-and plaster house in Cincinnati's Lower Clifton neighborhood, at the bottom of Deaconess Hospital's steep hill--and you wouldn't believe how quiet it was inside, while the roar of Columbia Parkway was only yards away. That was really a solid house, but as I learned when making curtains, no two windows were the same size! (It's still there, over 100 years old-- though now it houses a daycare center.)

I always like knowing about a house that old and still standing. That kind of solidity in construction is long, long gone.
