Sloggy today. My brain is sulking in the bottom of my skull and refusing to get up. I am forced into negotiations and plans–“C’mon, just get this done, and then you can check your e-mail! C’mon, just answer these e-mails, and then we can get some more coffee! C’mon, finish this coloring, and we’ll break […]

Today, I’m mellow. So far, I have three 8 x 10 pieces for Anthrocon, and a fourth in progress. One has a background, making it marginally higher priced, but most are just bits from the Random Moments In Ursula’s Brain collection. At some point, I’ll probably have to do some 5 x 7s, just to […]

It’s gonna be disgusting today. The temperature is expected to crack 100, which wouldn’t be that bad, if the air wasn’t wringing wet. Even at 9:30, stepping outside is like being smacked in the lungs with a hot towel. The sky over Minnesota was a watery sky. It had a peculiar tendency to try to […]

This is not my day. I had recovered from my terror that I’d had a stroke, I’d gone to the doctor and had a pleasant visit, I abandoned hope of painting today, and picked up some James Herriot books, which I haven’t read in a long time, and which I figured would function as comfort […]

I return! Since I got the feeling back, this was a Good Sign, and probably meant that sudden death was not in the cards. Cardiac episode was ruled out after it was revealed that my blood pressure continues to mosey along like a sea cucumber on quaaludes. Stroke was highly unlikely, since I did get […]
