Local Color

I bonded with the awesome contractor working on my apartment, Joe, (he is involved in a multi-day tiling project in the shower, rendering the shower not completely unusuable but definitely a pain to use) over our shared love of public radio. He listened while he tiled, and I continued listening while I painted. Thus, the color of my bathroom walls (blue, "Provence") will be forever associated in my mind with Hugo Chavez calling Bush the devil.
