Baretta

I held a gun for the first time. It was a black Berretta. It was nearly mint. There have been a few rounds fired throught the barrel.

I saw Shannon. She resigned from being the executive director of the Umpqua Valley Arts Center.

i gallery sat today, and we had a lot of people come through. i counted
about 27 but i might have missed a few. congratulations for selling your
beautiful painting!!! will you miss it? sometimes i have mixed feeling when
a painting sells, if i'm not quite ready to let it go yet, but for the most
part it's really great.
is saturday o.k. to take the work down?
i noticed that you were in the asian journal two weeks in a row, for both
shows you are in. that's good!!!

worked on ink and mylar new work.
In Poznan, Poland I saw a post with a Sea Horse and the words 'Lexly' I wanted to buy this but didn't know how to communicate my needs. Sea Horse is a personal symbol in Jasper John's paintings. The Sea Horse is a sexless animal. The Sea Horse is a very independent creature. It does not need the opposite sex for procreation. It lays the eggs and fertilizes the sperm all at once.

Chinese New year

Chinese New year. This year is the year of the monkey. This is supposed to be my year. We will see. I remember the Year of the Snake because of the September Eleventh, 2001. Just like I remember The Iraq war. I had just barely come back from Poland then the war started.
