A year later-January 13, 2017-marked the twentieth year since my father passed away of cancer. But existentially, it’s always been a time of contemplation. I’m an educator, so it comes with its own gateways and endings, one semester shifting to the other in lotus-eating fog. January is always the strangest month for me. I told them in the car in the school parking lot, drove to get ice cream, took it home, and we sat at the end of my bed and watched Bowie videos. ![]() She didn’t know either, so I asked her to wait, and I’d break the news over ice cream after school. Before I left for work, I told my wife the news and asked her what we should do. That January morning, I had no idea how to tell Bean or her sister. I knew he had retired from touring, but if the Stones could still tour well into their seventies, why not? I loved the idea of taking my kids to see him live. One day, a year or so before this, driving through our neighborhood after picking them up from school, Bean asked if we could go to a David Bowie concert sometime. My wife and I joked that it was because he was the patron saint of weirdos and our house was full of them. In December of 2015, Bean even asked for a giant stuffed Chewbacca and a giant stuffed David Bowie. ![]() When Bean was a toddler, she, her sister, and I would spend summer vacation watching Labyrinth almost daily we’d flip through videos on YouTube, dancing and singing. Her sister, Sophia, used to watch Labyrinth semi-weekly as a toddler, too. She knew about my love for his music, the movie Labyrinth, but she also knew that my daughter, Bean, had inherited my obsession. Sorry if you’re hearing it from me first. It said: I know how much you love David Bowie and I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to hear yet, but he passed away yesterday. I played Iago's codpiece in Othello, and I gave my Bottom nightly for two months - and it was very well-received, I might add - in a production of Midsummer Night's Dream.When I checked my phone the morning of January 11, 2016, I had a message from a former student of mine who worked the night shift at the Hard Rock Casino in town. Gargantua and Pantagruel, Illustrated, Book 3 Fran��ois Rabelais 1518 He praises many un praiseworthy things besides debt: his praise of the codpiece is a considered essay on generation, as well as an ironic commentary on that segment of a man's trousers. Will you maintain, quoth Pantagruel, that the codpiece is the chief piece of a military harness?įive books of the lives, heroic deeds and sayings of Gargantua and his son Pantagruel 2002įor the codpiece is the principal and most especial piece of armour that a warrior doth carry and therefore do I maintain even to the fire (exclusively, understand you me), that no Turks can properly be said to be armed men, in regard that codpieces are by their law forbidden to be worn. I've also heard he had a cuttlefish in his codpiece, which is likely where that cod-fishing rumor came from.he was trying to correct the fit! Och, "the figure added, in a different tone," and did you know as your codpiece are open? "
