I am back to fighting off loneliness and depression. For a cheerful hobbit I do that often. Last night I resisted being irrational. I accepted the tough truth that the universe doesn’t care what you think is the way it should be. Making you feel good is a reason to be extra skeptical. You can’t […]

It’s hard to be funny on demand
I didn’t go out yesterday, that means a writing challenge today. It’s always easy to find things to write about when I’m not writing The question is can I do it under pressure? We’ll find out. I can write about dinner, it was the best I’ve made in a while, just roasted chicken and potatoes […]

See Bri’s Art
Yesterday’s highlight was seeing a photography show featuring, among others, BriBri Dougherty. Normally I use just their first name but this is a professional reference so I use both.

NERFA 2018: Part 2
I’ll wrap up the NERFA reporting today. This is going to come from many different directions, that’s good as NERFA comes from many different directions. It’s going to start with a CT Scan, don’t worry, I won’t spend too much time on that. My gastroenterologist ordered a CT scan aka CAT scan and I scheduled […]
Time to plunge in and start writing about NERFA. I’m going to be useful to the folk community and write about the artists I discovered at showcases.
