Here's another of the faded but well-drawn sketches of my parents' den with the TV tuned to coverage of a long-ago disaster, the siege and destruction of the cult headquarters in Waco, Texas in April 1993. You can read the words transcribed more or less from the all-day news coverage. You can tell it's spring because the sketch is dated and there is a daffodil in a vase. The little tennis player figurine (lower left) is not floating in the air, I moved him to where I could see him. My father was an avid tennis player and his friends gave him this little old guy who looks just like my dad in tennis garb with his racket and gear.
