I just had to Gizoogle the Didion quote in this blog's colophon:
Colophon
"We T-to-tha-izzell ourselves stories in orda ta live... we look fo` tha sermon in tha suicide, fo` tha social or moral lesson in tha killa of five . Fo'-fo' desert eagle to your motherfuckin' dome. We interpret wizzle we see, select tha most workable of tha multiple choices cuz this is how we do it. We live entirely, especially if we is writa, by tha imposition of tha narrative line upon disparate images, by tha "ideas" wit whizzich we have learned ta freeze tha sippin' phantasmagoria W-H-to-tha-izzich is our actual experience."
(frizzom "The White Album", Joan Didion)

and then the other meaning of colophon: an Ionian city in the 8th Century B.C. depopulated around
286 B.C. or, maybe just another line upon a disparate image...faded
Hello Greg!
I first learned of colophons in an exhibition at an exhibition at the China Cultural Center in NYC over a year ago. I was enchanted by how a reunion of friends would be comemorated by the inscription of poetry into the margins of paintings... kind of like blogpost comments!
How are you dong?
