Brooms

When they come to take me away one day, I'm going to remember the prescient saying that Stan, the high-school year-book editor, put under my graduation picture all those years ago:

"There is a fine line between genius and madness."

I was fascinated with the tree-twig brooms I saw in Germany when I was there in 1969 and 1970.

So, for better or worse, I was not the least bit caught off guard when I was absolutely captivated by Chinese bamboo brooms.

I would like to introduce you to the first two Chinese brooms that I met up close and personal.  They were in opposite corners of the same room, and it was love at first sight.
