- 8 AM My shadow on the sand. Waiting for a friend for our walk on the beach. Was stood up. (Third time with this same individual.) 9 AM Returned home to work on a graphic novel page. I rarely create sequential art of movement. My panels tend to be images separated by significant lapses of time. Below "snapshots" of drunken Second Uncle, slipping on the ice was fun to ...

- This is in reply to Scott Holstad's post. Famous poets I've read and met. You won't find me swooning over film stars or politicians, but poets! The poets There was time when our Robinson Jeffers Tor House Foundation had an active poetry reading program. Lequita Vance-Watkins, herself a poet, was a genius in finding the money to host the readings, but she has since moved to Vermont. I ...

- From the manner in which the Chinese athletes win and lose, you can see the degree of freedom the people of the Middle Kingdom truly have. “The agony of defeat” is far more excruciating if the gymnast has yet to earn the home she has been promised, should she win gold. If the home is taken away because of her defeat, she and her family are demoted to the poverty of countryside. The ...

- I am ready. I am so ready. Dress, check, shoes, check, dj, coq au vin or salmon, name tags of classmates and their spouses, three teachers to honor, the banquet room decorations, check, check, check, check and check. Babysitters for classmates, check, an on going PowerPoint slide show on autopilot, which will show montages of old classmates how gawky we all were in middle and high school, ...

- Redroom has been so good to do a retrospective of my art and writing this week, but to my horror, I learned that the drawings and paintings have disappeared from my blog posts. I use Comcast to host my images from which I can then paste the URL in Redroom.com. Comcast is working to restore my server. I was sticky with rills of sweat, trying to explain the situation to the technician over ...

- I value my Redroom online friendships. I see no reason why “virtual” should be considered any less substantial than face-to-face meetings. It seems you get to the core of the matter without a lot of preening. When ideas, thoughts, interests meet in the ether, you are reaching out with the most cherished aspect of your being: your mind and spirit. In the ether, you judge less by ...

- I was truly dying to go to the Redroom party at Tosca's a few weeks ago. Jennifer Massoni told someone who asked why I wasn't in attendance that I didn't want to make the 4 hour-long drive for a 2 hour event.This is true and NOT true.I wanted so much to see Ericka Lutz, Jessica Barksdale and many others, since I know more about them and feel more in touch with them than my neighbors. (I've met ...

- For years, I've imagined a coffee table book with images of authors' desks and studios. One Redroom author wrote a few weeks ago that her desk is piled high with papers and too unsightly to be photographed. I said, "I'd like to see it." She replied, "You first." My room is relatively neat. Where my feet rest is the spot is I plant my derriere to talk to y'all in ...
