On my lunch break today, I wandered around the parking lot and found this interesting rock. This may not seem like a big deal, but I haven’t had a lunch break in a really long time. A lunch break from work, that is. I won’t get into my long search for work since moving to […]
I’m feeling better than I was the other day when Joy and I got home from hospital. I am, but Joy is still not feeling so great. Today’s watercolor experiment: Since I was feeling better I thought I should arrange the desk to reflect my attitude. Besides, I wanted to start painting. With the desk […]
Two Years of Daily Posts I am very pleased to note that this is the anniversary of the first post of my blog, two years ago. Since then I have posted each and every day. I credit this to you, dear readers. You have been very supportive of my efforts, beginning with my posts about […]
I had just put my Coke glass in the sink and rinsed it out (yes, I was going to put it in the dishwasher). I looked back and noticed a really lovely shot. I couldn’t resist. Today’s watercolor experiment: I included the photograph above, because it would be hard to believe that a group of bubbles […]
One thing about being in the hospital, even as a visitor: there is a better than even chance you will catch something while you are there. This happened to me after Joy had to stay overnight at hospital and I stayed there with her. I spent most of the day today tending my runny nose, […]
I wasn’t able to post any more today as I promised (see Off Kilter) (‘today’ being yesterday, as I write my posts and schedule for midnight). We got home from hospital late. There was good news: they found out what my wife’s problem wasn’t; and bad news: they don’t know what her problem was. I guess […]
Not in my normal venue tonight. In the ER, in fact. (Not a problem with me. Joy wasn’t feeling good at all today, she is just here for observation.) I write this from my phone. I’m hoping I can include another of my watercolors of the ‘ordinary’ in this post, if I can find the […]
Today’s watercolor experiment: Every now and then an ordinary thing strikes my fancy. Today it was my antioxidant cocktail. I made the mistake of buying a drink that mixed pomegranate, blueberry and cranberry juices together. It made my mouth water as I put it in my shopping cart. Only when I got it home did […]
Today’s watercolor experiment: All the leaves are gone from the fig tree in the back yard. The weather has not inspired too many photographs lately. It has either been too foggy or overcast. However the other morning, the light glanced off the fig tree in a way that just made me want to snap a picture. […]
Edvard Munch painted a picture that became an icon. It is entitled The Scream. Today’s watercolor experiment: The Scream has adopted by popular culture. I humbly submit the icon below to include the animal kingdom. There is plenty to shriek about in this world by both man and animals.
