Loose Leaf Notes

Suzi Gablik is an art critic, artist, and teacher with an interesting sidekick named Virgil. A reptilian muse with an impressive IQ, Virgil wonders if President Bush googles himself. He isn’t too shy to ask Ivana Trump about her bra buying habits or to say “doo doo” in public when necessary.

Virgil is currently busy being Suzi’s new blog assistant. He loves the internet and has recently been quoted as saying, “Personally I just love swimming in cyberwater. But there are likely to be folks out there who'll think I'm not real either, right?"

I’m always interested in what Suzi has to say, especially since reading her last book, “Living the Magical Life,” part “oracular adventure” based in Blacksburg and part memoir. A blog is a great idea. Virgil is a bonus. I was hooked on his antics since Suzi first introduced him and I learned that he can twirl his arms like a windmill, “a reflex that gets triggered by emotional excitement and sometimes has revolutionary implications,” she explained.
