Just another WordPress.com site. Figures in a Streetscape. In February 1977 I was 15 years old, a little more than half way through grade ten, and a fan of Science Fiction. I read Science and Science Fiction books voraciously. I had a subscription to. Analog Science Fiction Science Fact. Magazine. A year earlier I had been excited to read Frank Herbert’s. The third volume in the now never ending. Series, serialized in Analog. I must have first read. When I was 11 or 12. On television, and Kubrick’s.

Just another WordPress.com site. Figures in a Streetscape. Sometime before the end of 2005 I chanced upon a passage in the writings of Pliny the Elder:. Book XXXV, Chapter xxxii. Diana Herculanea I, Acrylic, 4″x6″, 2005. A few years later, in Sketch 16, I revisited the image with a little more confidence (and a smaller brush):. Diana Herculanea II, Acrylic, 4″x6″, 2007. Morning in Lucania, Acrylic, 4″x6″, 2005. San Giovanni di Ruoti: View from Room 58, Acrylic, 4″x6″, 2006. December 23, 2013 at 8:07 pm.

My thoughts. In chronological order. Going the wrong way. September 22, 2012. December 1, 2012. This week, I had the absolute pleasure of heading up to Whistler for a couple of days with two of my oldest friends. After 16 days with only one day off, getting in a car, and heading toward a mountain with a coffee in my hand and an ill advised Cinnamon bun could not have been better. But, hunger won over fear, and we started back down in search of beer and food. Karen and I have traveled together a few times...

My thoughts. In chronological order. 2014: You Don’t Rhyme with Anything. January 1, 2014. March 25, 2014. New Years’ Eve 2013. Well first of all. 2013. You were a hell of a year. So thank you. But also, let’s move on shall we? I have one of those “this is going to be a great year” feelings about 2014. Per usual, I don’t actually enjoy resolutions. I feel like they are a joke. But then I make them anyways. So here’s what I want to work on this year. 2 Swimming. I just want to swim a lot. What I talk about.

My thoughts. In chronological order. March 25, 2014. March 25, 2014. Every morning, I wake up, and plod to the bathroom in our condo. And my cat Tuesday follows me. Not because she loves me. But simply because she is hungry and has been waiting for me to wake up so she can eat. I don’t pour her any food. I don’t need to. There has been food waiting for her the whole night. In two places actually. Our home is awash with cat food bowls. I don’t know anyone else who has this issue with their pet. ...Nd we c...

My thoughts. In chronological order. December 13, 2012. January 19, 2013. I have been asked a few times to write this post now based on conversations I’ve had with friends. How to write it I’m not sure but well. I’m going to try to do this with poise, grace, and humour. I am going to smirk the entire time I write it. So while you read it, remember that I am smirking. It will help. Great first date. Lots of laughs. Good smile. Got too close too quick, but who minds that. Nobody. Artists are so sensitive&#...

Stop saying you are to everyone and take a good hard look at what you can do differently this year to make your life better. So, my dedicated readers, this is what I have decided. Here, as you may say, are my resolutions. 2 I will buy more clothes online. I just want to. So I will. 5 I will apologize to aforementioned friends. 6 I will read more.

My thoughts. In chronological order. The Maple Leaf Forever. June 5, 2014. June 5, 2014. I landed in St. John’s Newfoundland last night, and found myself wandering down some hilly colourful streets in search of a beer with a few coworkers and a coworker’s Mum. Now, on to the Territories… (which will be a WHOLE different story once again! My 140 characters or less. Summer's starting but we're thinking winter with our Call for Presentations!
