Christmas All Wrapped UpActually we follow our Anglican tradition of celebrating Christmas up until the Epiphany (January 5th).

On the Palette…Christmas Time is Here
Hunter Green: Just like the arrival of colder weather, gray skies, and the jolly fat guy in the sleigh we welcome the 2007 holiday virus. We started Ben’s “sick plan” yesterday afternoon which mainly involves increased nebulizer treatments. It’s the same cold that has made Joan and [...]

Tiny Dancer…Natural Photographer
I’ve believed for a long while now that I’ve passed on my creative spirit to both my children. If you’ve read this blog for any length of time you know a great deal about Ben’s endeavors into painting and drawing. His creativity has also manifested itself in so many different ways as he [...]

Scrooged
We have still have not received the check from EdVenture Museum for the money due us for our work in September. To say the least we are very pissed at the museum and their staff.

Stream Of Conscience
Weary is no longer the word. Perhaps functioning at a sub-conscience level? Going through the motions? I prefer the title of tonight’s entry. My mind and body seems to be drifting along with the clouds that clog my creativity at the moment. Things seem foggy for the most [...]

Forever ThankfulI’m hoping to have time to blog this Thanksgiving Day. At the very least I’ll copy and paste as quickly as possible. It’s the Eve of the most American holiday in my opinion. As a Christian (regardless of my current bitterness) I hold Easter as The Big One. Christmas falls into [...]

Hello? Is this Thing On?
I do realize the accompanying picture isn’t that interesting but it is a remnant and a reminder of the last time I spoke to God. After packing up the booth, loading my gear into the van, and grabbing a bite to eat (and one last perfect Bloody Mary) I [...]
