I broke through the barrier on #3. I showed Doug the 3 pieces and he seemed to dig them. I talked to him about the co-op in Flag. and he was interested in the possibility. Mike Z. finished the fourth in his series of designs. Now I have to come up with something else for him to do. He did a really good job today, very purposeful and slow, unlike last week when he almost ruined #3 in his series.
Yesterday I stumbled across Lori Gordon of S.F. Her blog takes me back to the city. Boo. I miss it too much!
I also talked to Louis today, and he's doing workshops for Youth Celebrate Art and Culture Feb. 25 - Mar. 26. He's gittin' fourty bones an hour plus the cost of supplies. I'm gonna look into doing a journaling workshop next year. I've got lots of 'how to journal your life' type books. I'm gonna start making hand bound journals and I think the two would go together good.
Man, D. Prices book "the moonlight chronicles" makes we want to travel and be what I am. Art and life and travel and creating things and sharing with people and so much more......
OK, so I'm at work as usual and I have to go go go.

a snowy night in february.

I've been journaling consistantly for a few weeks. I want to post some pic.'s of recent journal entries. I've stalled on number three in my series of six pen and ink portraits and I need to get with it. I will be working on #3 tomorrow at the studio with Mike Z. Work is really slow (knock on wood).
D. Price www.moonlight-chronicles.com and Danny Gregory www.dannygregory.com have been very inspiring these last few days.
This shift (swings) sucks! 4pm to 12am. It's actually a good shift but I don't end up going to bed until around 2am. I then have to get up and take the older boy to school at 8am. I then go back to bed and wake up at noon. The day is shot! I feel crazy and tired and boo!
Well, I have to go fingerprint a thoroughly intoxicated man, yay!

POTHOLES!!!!

Holy crap! The potholes in this town are gonna destroy the suspension on my poor little Honda. I suppose I understand the concept that porholes are inevitable due to the snow and rain and the big snow-platters as Aidan calls them. The roads get scraped, the snow melts, turns into water, which gets into the yet-to-be potholes and freezes. As anyone who knows by putting a full glass of water, or a sealed bottle or whatever into the freezer, liquid explands as it freezes. The freezing water then pushes the broken pieces of street up and out of its nice place on the road and they magically disappear. Well, then you have a nice hole in the road and BAM! the next thing you know, you're wondering if that was a body that you just hit or a dreaded pothole. HHMMHH! I was somewhat under the impession that my tax dollars went to road maintenance??? Who knows. There's my rant for the day. Hopefully I won't get sucked into a big hole in the road and I will return to continue posting. Tah-tah...
