 As always, blogger is obstinate. Patience!

 This is a complete experiment. I had forsaken/neglected/ignored/forgotten all about this blog (http://lxv.blogspot.com/) lo these many years. And now, I am deciding whether or not to continue. Life has pushed and pulled in many directions, most of them towards age & final things. I have completely given up most internet involvement other than my website: Agnes de Bethune , which is a summary of work to date at the time I built it, which is now already several years ago. Nonetheless, it pretty much shows my history as an artist. But there is little room in there for discussion or speculation, musings and such. So, I am resurrecting the blog. It appears I am unable to edit past pages and so this new blog is the redux.  I welcome readers and commenters and beg forgiveness in advance for any apparent ineptitude in the management or presentation, as I am not amenable to learning most of this technical stuff. I have other fish to fry. If you happen here, please do leave a word ...
