Living on Borrowed Time

Hey Kiddo, How have you been? Been very quiet around here for the past few months, with the exception of couple of nice Google gigs (thank you very much by the way). Just after Thanksgiving, Carter fell and fractured a vertebrae and has been a lot of pain since. Mostly bed ridden. So my care giving skills have been put…

Weary

Entering the cold dark days of winter. I feel tired a lot. Physically, mentally and emotionally. Long walks help. But there's a lot of waiting. Waiting. And more waiting. When asked how I am doing, it really hard to say exactly and the only word that comes to mind is weary.

Attempted Mustache

Hey Sarah, Just thought of you. I have been slowly learning my new version of Photoshop, the old version dated to 2010. And what changes there are. I went looking for old photos to try some things out on and found this sweet image of Rhys from 7 years ago. My, my what a cutie. So sweet and innocent looking.…

A Natural Diffuser

It is a muted foggy morning here. Kind of pretty. But the fall colors are dull. Here and there are big orange and reds, but a lot of burned out looking green/brown colors too. I have a friend visiting later this week and I think I will take her to this Japanese Garden I have always wanted to visit. An…

Moody, Dark and Damp

I started the day thinking I might finally return to the gym. But after thinking about it, I went grocery shopping instead. I like to shop early when there is no crowd and parking is plentiful. But my dog said take me for a walk first. So then after that I made it to the studio to get some serious…

At 90

Carter turned 90 last week. We had a little birthday party on Sunday. Had the most people in our house that day since before the pandemic. It was a nice event and everyone enjoyed themselves. It is hard for me to imagine what it is like to be 90 years old, or if I will ever make that far. But…

The Boy Next door

My Mac Studio has arrived. So has the key board and mouse. But no monitor yet or external drive. So for now I can only look at the box. Apple says the monitor might not arrive until the first week of August. So for now I will still kick around this old machine. I had a cousin visit last week…

Big Color Phase

One way I am looking at this is a fresh start. And trying not to dwell too much on past work. Revising past work would be slippery slope to go down. Even now I look at older work and tend to leave it alone. It represents where I was at that moment in time. I went through a “big color”…

Not All Journeys Are Focused

Stuart, I forget when you return from your travels or if you check emails when you do. At either rate I am sure this little note will pop up in your in box at some point. As usual, my creative efforts are scattered. Never one to truly focus on a project, I jump around tinkering with this and that. Isn’t…

A Convenient Stopping Point

Matthew, Thought of you today on a couple of levels. First of all I see you have elected a new PM. Is that a good thing? I must confess to not knowing a lot about Australian politics, other than you all seem more sane down there than we are here. But from what I have read, are not both men…
