Santa Claus School, 1961 - LIFE
This blog is a classy collection of arresting photos and paintings
I’ve gotta tell you, Cloggo had to be dragged off the boat kicking and screaming.
In fact only a few weeks ago he told me with great pride how he was the last person in the British Isles to still own a black and white TV set.
(This was code for “don’t hit me with any more changes”)
But I do believe he’s the better for having been rescued, and that he is going to really take to this.
PLUS I loved the movie Swiss Family Robinson as a kid.
I still love the idea of fresh starts.

Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever.
The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.
