. . W<\/em><\/strong>ith a pause in the major action at the Democratic Convention, I thought I’d do some non-demanding administrative work this evening here at f\/k\/a<\/em>, and tell you about the two haiga calendar pages we created for September 2008.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/strong><\/em>Below are sample-sized calendar pages for September from both of our free online 2008 haiga<\/a> calendars \u2014 the “artsy” Giacalone Bros. Haiga Calendar 2008<\/a><\/em> (with photos taken by my brother Arthur) and the nostalgic fka<\/em> Haiga Memories Calendar 2008<\/a> (with shots snapped in the 1950’s by Mama Giacalone). See our prior post<\/a> from last December for descriptions and links to the full 12-month calendars. [FYI: Haiga are pictures (paintings, sketches, or photos) combined with a subtly-linked haiku or similar poem. The poetry is written by your Editor, “dagosan”.)<\/p>\n

J<\/strong>ust click on the sample calendar pages below to go to a printable full-size version<\/em>. A link is also provided to a larger version of each of the original haiga used for the calendars.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bocce Bonus<\/em><\/strong>: This afternoon, I had the honor and pleasure to help Yu Chang<\/a> “initialize” a new set of bocce balls across from his house, in Schenectady’s Central Park (the location of our first-ever Haijin Snow Bocce Festa<\/a> in January 2006. We played with Paolo Seganti<\/a>, Yu’s son-in-law and grandson Marcello (who let us old guys win).<\/p>\n

Here are a few of dagosan<\/em>‘s bocce haiku and senryu to celebrate.<\/p>\n

afterwords<\/em><\/strong> (Aug. 28, 2008): Thanks to a post at Above the Law<\/em><\/a>, I learned this afternoon that the nearly-600-lawyer Venable LLP<\/a> law firm in Washington, D.C., offers its attorneys the perk of “bocce on the roof<\/a>” at its offices (575 7th St. NW, right near my old office at the FTC). Despite preferring lawn bocce, I think I could enjoy a roof-top game on a summer evening — especially if it were mosquito-free, and a few non-lawyers got to play, too.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
