Have fun with the art, R. I find that drawing makes me happy. I think it's because it uses the right side of the brain. I keep forgetting about how good it feels just to draw. (I started drawing during a workshop. I embellished my agenda. Since then, I embellished many agendas, especially during boring meetings.

The painting job is in progress. No, I'm not painting the outside of the house. I hired someone. This is really weird. The paint from the last house painting has been peeling off. My painter planned to clean up the places where the paint was peeling - pressure wash and scrape. It turns out he's scraped about three quarters of the old paint on the house. I don't know what the previous painter did, but it sucks.

WRiting - I think I have one edit left before publishing "Refuge and Warm Tea." I'm redoing the ending of "Through Unfamiliar Waters" and then I'll put out a second edition. I have some new marketing ideas that i'm scared to try. And I'm goofing off shamelessly because I don't want to face the hard stuff. I'll write up a to do list someday soon.

that's it for me.
