I’m a reader, and, I’d like to believe, a writer (I don’t think the desire to write makes me one, even though I get paid to do so). I’ve read countless books, most of them forgettable, but one stands out as the most important I’ve ever discovered. It’s The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane by Kate DiCamillo, and it’s about a bunny.

Like a Sailor, Inked For the Very First Time
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009
Freshly posted on uwishunu.com – my piece on “Skin and Bones: Tattoos in the Life of the American Sailor.” Now you have the perfect excuse to visit the Independence Seaport Museum and indulge your love of all things maritime-related.
Philly’s a tattoo, town, all right. Just throw a rock (or a can of PBR) and you’ll probably end up bruising someone who’s sporting ink. It’s only fitting, then, that the Independence Seaport Museum is hosting “Skin & Bones: Tattoos in the Life of the American Sailor,” an exciting exhibit that examines the tradition of tattoos among the seafaring Americans who introduced skin art culture to the masses.
