starting "jazz 10" following a big olive oil spill / by Philip Tarlow

jazz 1, stage 1 at 12:30 pm

noon: we ordered a 5 gallon tub of our favorite extra virgin olive oil from the italian company we love in california. it’s very heavy, as you might imagine, and this morning when i was attempting to pour some of it into a glass half gallon bottle, the bottle slipped, fell onto the cement floor and olive oil went everywhere. i spent about 2 hours doing a premininary cleanup, but i wanted to get at least a little painting done before we have to leave for our dental appointemnts in alamosa, to i heroically launched into jazz 10.
