Today was more productive. Ravyn suggests we are indeed affected by these last days of the waning moon. Then, Thursday should be interesting...

Yesterday was a day for tripping myself up. I put way too much time and energy into doing things that contributed nothing at all to my curre...

I awoke to quiet. Orion had snuggled in at some point and was pressed against my back, Gurtie was draped over my head like an ugly (but very...

One of my favorite Far Side drawings features a city street in the midst of a huge emergency--possibly an alien invasion, I can't rememb...

Possibly I'm breathing some paint fumes, but I've been thinking as I paint. A lot. So will stop for a bit to write a few things do...
