How long will you wait?

How long will you wait for the right bus/driver?

Time for a Second Opinion?

Can't shake that cold? Want some free medical advice? Or maybe a really cool pen pal?

A Warm Place

The wood stove is blazing, the generator has gas as does the snow blower, the fridge is well stocked as we hunker down for a blizzard. See you in a few days!

Words

I'm touched by some kind words this week. It keeps me going!

Stag Hill Shower

Shower Anyone?

Vanity is Fair

Mirror mirror, on the floor ... Just what is vanity?

Inspired

Someone comes along and affirms your beliefs. It lights your fire. I've been inspired 3 times in a 24 hour span. It feels good. Where is that rock? Let's see what we can do with this!

Complain

I've so much to gripe about. But I'm going to resist that urge and move ahead as best I can.

Let's light this candle!

Well, I'm out of my funk and ready to get rolling. School has started and so-far it seems to be going well. Some friends/former students stopped in for a vist and really made my day. I'm working on a photo project and they helped in a collaboration that is starting to really take shape. Today I'll sit in front of the wood burning stove, and relax. Tomorrow is Martin Luther King Day, and I was thinging about his words; "I have a dream."
My dreams are not as noble as his, and I doubt they ever will be. But I was thinking of just how important that is. To have a dream. To realize dreams and aspire to new ones.

Grieving

I lost a friend today, a former colleague. A stand up guy who I only spoke to days ago. Now I can barely speak much less type.

A good start

Go Giants!

2006

Wishing you a Happy New Year.

Im busy making resoltions, keeping promises. Let's have more fun in 06

Meditation, not medication!

Meditation, no not medication!
I'm considering taking up meditation, which sounds a lot like sleep. It's all part of a right brain left brain thing I'm unsure about how to measure the results, or the efforts. (Not like I'll be chanting or anything) unless I get some GIANT play-off tickets. But some sleep would be good. Imagine Marylin chanting de-fense! De-fense! De-fense

Turning 51

Not nearly as traumatic as 50

Grading

I hate giving out grades!

I'm home

There is no place like home! A bit weak, but on the mend. Come visit! Come play!

Student

I've got this student and she seems like a hardship case. I don't typically get involved in this stuff but I feel like if I don't get involved I'm going straight to academia hell. Some might argue that by teaching at BCC that I may already have arrived. But she could be one of the best cartoonists I've ever seen in a college setting.
Sometimes I wonder that if like me she is too proud and unwilling to accept charity or private funding And if she suffers from some of these deadly sins. Pride being one of the seven deadly Sins of St. Thomas Aquinas, (See Abagail Jones Blog) And if like me, she suffers from some of he others.
Either way I feeI have to get this kid to hit pavement running or frequent the gutter with the rest of the geat cartoonists, artist and yes, photographers. I hope she does not suffer from the same Irish Catholic hang-ups that I do, Or perhsps then again I do hope she does.
I don't belive I'm quaified to make this assessment but a boost to her self-esteem seems in order but I'm not sure from her blog posts if or how that can be done. Sounds like an arm wrestling contest to me even is she is up to the conest. But she should be warned that I hate to lose.

Another week then Kessler

I'm getting there!

In the words of Bil "Buba" Clinton...l feel your pain

Marat in a local nursing home
I feel your pain!

Viatamin V

I'm still in the nursing home, trying to work as best I can. A bit stoned on valium. I hope I get out soon, shouldn,'t be long now.
