Longtime readers may remember the Sixty Dollar Bear, the pueblo clay bear curio I am mysteriously compelled to purchase while in Albuquerque in 2002, and which lives on my desk. It is shown above on the right, staring down the new friend we buy for it in Ucluelet, a small polished nubbin of cast aluminum also faintly suggestive of the ursine shape. I believe we are calling it the Ukee Bear. (Ukee apparently being the locals’ affectionate nickname for Ucluelet.) It did not cost sixty dollars.

SDH

I’m Scott David Herman, I’m an American living in Canada, and I’ve been running erasing.org since 1999.

The expatriate life is very glamorous. I live and work on the fifth floor of a mid-rise glass-and-concrete ant farm situated in the abandoned ruins of downtown Hamilton, that legendary city many call the most beautiful smoke-spewing slag heap in all of Southern Ontario.

I enjoy staring into open books, mentally rotating Shakespeare’s skeleton, stacking objects in my quote-unquote office, and chopping at the Parnassian permafrost in the company of my wife Laura.
