And a New Puppy Too

Time for a change in the subject line. I had a chat last night with Gemini, the AI talking bot. Have you checked that out yet? I have only played around with it a little but decided to chat with it about my current health condition. At first, it only provided the standard, top of the search answers. But as…

I wanted to mention the passing of Barney Frank, the former congressman from Massachusetts. I am not sure if you know of him or if I ever told you the story of how we came to name our Barney after him. Barney Frank the man was the first openly gay member of congress. Came out at the height of AiDS…

I am glad spring is in full bloom and the days are getting longer. It was a tough winter, and I am glad to see it go. I have the gardens whipped into shape and look forward to puttering around with the tomatoes. I might have a big shoot coming up with Google that I am pondering passing on. I…

Longer Walks

Took a nice walk this morning. I am gradually working my way up to longer walks. Trying to get back into shape of some form. I guess at my age, getting back into shape takes longer, healing takes longer and what was once an easy task is harder and takes longer. It’s funny how we take for granted our health…

With the deck project almost completed and spring coming on, I have been puttering around in the garden and planning for what plants should go where and what new ones to introduce. As I sat in this spot and made this image, I couldn’t help but think of a similar image I made late last summer. One where Barney joined…

The Last Stage Coach Builder

During my career I constantly let go of cameras, computers and such. Sometimes I wish I had kept my Hasselblads or at least my 4x5 camera that was a finely crafted field camera made of cherry wood. Not that I would want to still use them, but to keep them as sculpture or as a reminder of the days when…

I went to see my doc this morning about pain in my legs. Bursitis maybe, nerve pain from too tight of a waistline due the 10 pounds I have gained in the past 2 months. Got some xrays and headed to PT next week and we go from there... that was the easy part of my visit. When she brought…

I Could Do This For Days

You are about the RAM thing. I don’t know why I didn’t realize it sooner. I have always thought my machine was buggy, but all along it was just too much crap on the desktop. So, to put it to the test, I decided to go the external drive where I keep everything and open a random folder I knew…

In the Moment Thing

Glad to hear your surviving. Funny I re read my email to you asking you if you had power…. Duh, like would you be reading it if you didn’t. Funny how we become so dependent on things like power, heat, the internet, and our devices and don’t think about their absence. Good at least you had backup power. We don’t,…

Off the Streets

Good to hear about the interest in your work. That must be fulfilling. It seems your hard work is paying off. As to wondering why you do it, my only answer, like it is for me, is that our work is a fundamental connection to the world around us. It is our purpose to add beauty to the world and…
