Even though you actually can’t tell from this picture, which I now realize.  Dammit.

Use your imagination.

This is my attempt at channeling Andy Warhol.

Next up is my take on “Lavender Disaster.”  But first I need get up to NoVa, steal my friend Steve’s car, and then crash it.

Steve will understand.  He’s an art guy himself.

Why do I have “clam shack” on my to-do list for today?

My handwriting sucks.

Update: “Alarm clock!!” I need to buy a new alarm clock!!!

Update 2: Although I probably should also get out to the coast to build and operate that clam shack I’ve always dreamed of.

 

 

 

 

Climb the moonlit midnight mountain …

Find the dreaded blood-red wood.
