Weekends should be fun
Two pleasant, restful days off
Too bad taxes aren't!

Oh, well, into every life some drudgery must fall.

My plan: Next weekend will be better!

No matter what your skill level or budget, you can join in. Anyone can leave prompts, and anyone can sketch! You can sketch in any media you want: paint, Sculpy, sidewalk chalk, needle and thread, markers, pixels, frosting, fancy-cut vegetables, pottery, jewelry bits, even pencil.

Mi Amiga,

The old fiddler has a gig in Chicago, and promised to mail this for me. I'd come myself, but I was lucky to get here in the first place.  I'm told my roots here aren't deep enough, yet, to come and go safely.

So, far too early, my cell phone starts singing to me, "Right Now...  (I'm not fond of many of the songs you don't have to pay for on this phone, but those words seem right for "wake up NOW".)  So I get up, hurry through a shower (with or without a tuner, I'll be onstage ( Read more... )
