Busy stuff today. It’s warm enough (again) to go to the gym, but I have to get an oil change in Donna’s car (which means I get to drive the new one!) and then run a grocery errand. Donna is doing a quick review of her second go-through on my new book, which means some time this week I’ll be starting on final draft stuff. So I have to get a few things out of the way.
Last night I had a phone interview for a job. I have serious problems with this, of course, but that’s a post for another day. …
Did a little playing with Photoshop today. Just fooling around to see where it would take. Ended up in a very 2001: A Space Odyssey sort of visual space…
I can see how this can get very addictive…to the point of absurdity. Still.…
Starting off on a positive step, I’ve made a change on the site. Not much of a one, but it could lead to something special.
The Art page has been static for some time now. Technical issues among other things. But I decided to move the art to a site that can give me a little better control and offer the possibility of expanding this part of my creative life. Take the plunge, go for it, I say, put your stuff out there where people can see it.
So over the weekend, with a bit of help from my webmaster, I changed the Art link to a hosting site that offers a nicer look and some bells and whistles. …
It’s no secret to anyone who knows me that I don’t care for snow. It looks great when it’s fresh and thick, makes the trees all pretty, and does wonderful things for mountains, but on city streets, in traffic, or even in front of my house on the sidewalk, requiring shoveling, forget it. Before getting my driving license I liked it. Went to Art Hill, played, as a little kid looked forward to building castles, all that good ol’ fashion cool stuff. I have learned to dislike it. Especially in my town, where people seem annually to forget how to drive in it.…
One of the trips we don’t make anymore is south to Atlanta. When our good friends Kelley and Nicola lived there, we went down a few times, most notably for their wedding. That trip was an adventure. We often make long drives at night. Donna is good at the wheel in the dark (I fall asleep, no matter how much caffeine or hours of napping beforehand) and it chews up mileage during a period when not much else is happening. It also afford us sunrises on the road, which can often be spectacular…or just profound.
The trip down for their wedding took us through a storm. …
