I drove back to Ann Arbor, MI from Louisville, KY last night. I took a long nap today and woke up find it had been another miserable day at the stock market. What are we in for??

I’ve always had pets: cats or dogs usually… and I’ve always loved them…
But this is the craziest cat I’ve ever had, Frankie. And I’m talking evil-crazy. One day I’m stirring from my sleep - I was in college at the time. I open one eye and see Frankie sitting 12 inches away on my bed, staring […]

I wish I had my digital camera, so I could throw up some pictures when I have nothing to say… like now…
Ok, one little thing… I went to the Chicago Westfest music festival last night with my friend Neil. The headliner was a band called the Redwalls who I thought were brilliant (they sound much […]

Driving back to the Bay Area from Seattle today brought back memories of an amazing hitchhiking trip that I took down the coast, from Seattle to San Diego, many years ago with my friend Gerry. Two guys hitchhiking is a recipe for not getting a lift, so we had to devise ways around this. One […]

I got back home this morning… drove all day and night from Denver, with Pam sharing the driving… Now I have today and part of tomorrow to do everything I can’t do on the road.
I fly to Des Moines tomorrow at midnight (with an armful of artwork) to get my van and drive to Chicago for the […]
