The Suggestions
Illegal Art carried around suggestion boxes last year and invited people on the street to put some in. Now the suggestions are in a book that has been ordered by me this very day, but some others were printed in Sunday’s NYT, as “Advice for 2006.” I liked "Wear a Bigger Heart on Your Sleeve" and "Dine with Strangers." I shared some of mine with the sixers, “Slog daily,” “Slow down, lighten up,” “Dissertate with your morning coffee,” “Read more fiction,” and “Avoid dogs.” They wrote their own suggestion signs in the computer lab, “Make a life for yourself,” "Try not to play with fire," "Love's always better" and “Chill or be chilled." A cool bulletin board will appear soon.

i got a $25 gift card from barnes and noble for doing the blog talk today, so maybe it would be a good book to buy?? any other suggestions?? (get it? suggestion?)
i would not mind, in fact i would be feeling a form of flattery. i ordered the book from amazon, and they tell me it won't come for awhile. don't they see i need it right away????
i also bought "fires in the bathroom." have you read that???

JW, That one caused a big uproar when I wrote it on the overhead projector. Kids were screaming at me. But I asked, "What about the licking????" I told them I like the dogs I know, but I avoid all others. That seemed to calm them down. welcome home kiddo.
