It would seem, if one uses Alltop as a gauge, that most artists and art bloggers use wordpress or typepad or other free blog hosting services. This confused me at first. Owning a domain name seems so important, installing WordPress, refining the blog to fit my taste, and creating my own unique website -well, isn't that a no-brainer? ... read more
Short fiction coming soon - I am going to write an assemblage story... thus creating a new fiction genre. Collage fiction? Assemblage story? Must think of a good name for it. Will post it later today -- once the glue dries and the dust settles. ... read more
We're researching service dogs and debating Roxanne's ability to be trained as one for me. She seems quite apt, very intelligent and able to respond well to commands even at age seven months. It's way to early to begin any formal training - let's get to house training and a few little commands like "come" "sit" "stay" and "put down that chicken". ... read more

Another suitcase. This one so very vintage, it looks contrived, the decals and stickers appear fake. So real - it's unreal. Nice! And to add to my extraordinary suitcase purchase - Four nicely turned table legs from a toddler-size primary school table which apparently was flung out of the room and jumped upon during the last recess of the year last Monday. Me, being me... I grabbed the legs and popped them into the rear of the nicely kept Volvo which prompts this part of the message - A VAN! A VAN!
