I encourage you to ask yourself the same question, and to listen to how I answered myself. ~:-) Read more

Dancing on Fly Paper

May 22nd, 2010 - It’s cloudy and still over Silverlake today. No song birds twittering at the Evan’s compound yet. No ducks quacking for Connie to feed them their cracked corn. No geese honking overhead. No neighbors mowing yet or even out walking their dogs. Perhaps everyone is sleeping in to catch up on their rest.

It’s a good day for that. It’s 8:15 on a quiet Saturday morning.

Art has influence!

From the cave paintings of Lescaux France… to the Sidewalks of New York today, artists have expressed their humanity, their culture.

Visual art can influence as well as decorate our environment and color and design can crystallize our emotions!

Artistic license has no boundaries other than those society sets for it, or imposes, given how threatened it feels.

The Lighter Side

The Shredder

A young executive is working late one evening. As he comes out of his office about 8 p.m., he sees the big boss standing by the shredder in the hallway, a piece of paper in his hand.

“Do you know how to work this thing?” the older man asks. “My secretary’s gone home and I don’t know how to run it.”

My first Car

Looking back over my life, I can’t say that I can remember with clarity all the cars that I have ever had, but I do remember my first car. For many of us a first car is a life changing event.

I was seventeen, I was starting my senior year.  In my mind, I was sure that I would soon be the oldest High School Senior in the entire world that didn’t have a car.

From the Editor’s Desk - September 2010

It just doesn’t seem right that the schools are starting up again. Especially not with the “un-summer” that we experienced this year! You all know what I am talking about, because I’ve heard you say it!
