This image is from my summer 1-man show at Zip 37 Gallery. It’s pastoral, mostly, a bit of Eyvind Earle creeping in I guess. But it contains a more subliminal component, and I can never convince myself that it’s strong enough for people to notice. Thoughts? A reminder: Tuesday, December 4, is Colorado Gives Day.…

“All of my friends were there… Not just my friends, But their best friends, too! All of my friends were there, Too stand, and stare” -The Kinks, “All of My Friends Were There” There’s a fine line between a dream and a nightmare, isn’t there? In a dream, you are naked, and with a beautiful…

The word “economy” refers primarily to the movement of a nation’s resources; and secondarily, to an attempt to spend less. This sums up President Obama’s “balanced” approach to stimulus and deficit cutting, in that order. Polls show this agenda is favored by a majority of Americans.

National Novel Writing Month is November, and I signed up to pledge my 50,000 words, like thousands of others. Is that why I haven’t been posting here? Well, no. Turns out I’m just as bad at regular fiction writing as I am at regular blogging. But here, just to get the ball rolling again, is…

Parts of our state have had no significant precipitation…
