Back in elementary school, most of your classes on your report card were graded on the traditional A-F scale (but where was “E,” “E"xactly?). There were some other classes that were merely graded as Check or Check Minus or Minus. These were the non-core classes of Music, Art, and P.E. Well, in Art I got a minus. I guess even then I was too postmodern or something like it to really be able to do art, but I was even then, and still am, excellent at dissecting Art’s meaning. That’s probably part of the reason I live in SF. But I’ve been wanting to have a proper notebook cover.
