Grey Extension amp of my Youth

This lamp was given to me when I went to college - we won't say how many eons ago that was. Many extensio lamps have come into my studio since then - hovering over my drafting table for a few years before breaking - the socket burns out, the switch stops working. Sometimes repairs are possible, sometimes not. But this old, grey, somewhat battered, all-metal work horse has provided light in my life for... OK, let's admit it - almost 30 years - without faltering. So the old aphorism really holds - they just don't make things like they used to! And while I'm appreciating the lamp, let me also tip my hat to Dave Alsop - thanks for the gift, all those years ago!

Two months until my feet rest on this carpet again.

Bad Air

The smokey, hazy air from the distant wildfires has really been irritating my allergies.Therefore, I opted for full protection when it came time to mow the lawn - and I actually did breathe better inside that thing than I had in days. :Look, Ma, no sneeze!

Mmmmm, Soon We'll Have Pumpkin Bread!

The Backlit Morning was Beautiful at Sausal Creek, But I Didn't Think I'd be Able to do it Justice

Thank-you to Tom & Linda for introducing me to this oasis in Oakland; it makes a real difference in my life to be able to come here, even if it's not as often as I'd like. I arrive tired and cranky; I leave refreshed.

Glowing Hand Reaching for Chocolate

I Wasn't Eating All of the Library's Chocolates While Working Late; It Was The Goddess: She Insisted!

This one's for Marlene and Brenda, by whose grace the goddess currently has a home at the library at work. We both thank you for the chocolate!

Broken Blogger - Again!

I'm back from my trip and would like to post my drawings but blogger is broken again. FTP isn't working and this time it really isn't completing - so I don't know of any work-arounds that aren't quite labor intensive. I guess it really is time to look again at wordpress...

There Were Many Interesting Things to Look At

You can see what David and Trisha's sculptures really look like on their website. The paintings in the background are two of my paintings of dogs.

The Power to Know

Work followed me to the airport in the form of a SAS billboard. I did not see advertisements for any other databases or programming languages...

Orange You Glad You Aren't Blue?

Tomorrow I'm off to the East Coast for the Annual General Meeting of the American Society for the Alexander Technique. I'll still be drawing every day but I don't know how frequently I'll be able to post.
