It's been awhile since I have posted anything. I have been spending some time resting, under the weather, getting adjusted. I'm thinking about my widely different, seemingly contradictory impulses, most notably appearing along an axis of Buddhist piety and Hebrew Bible wrath. Anyway it's good to spend some time in bed when necessary, and I'm excited about getting some serious painting back into the mix. I need to be sure to eat enough food, such as CVS honey roasted cashews.



Re-read Tom Wolfe's The Painted Word, a fun and fundamental essay. Listened to Steve Martin's biography of his stand-up career, Born Standing Up, on CD. It's well crafted, like a Rockwell painting, and has a fully-committed feeling I find exemplary.
