I am continually stumped by my own capacity to generate rules. Almost every thing I do comes with some appended rulebook, one that I’ve developed out of my own pointy little head. For example: pictures in this blog are horizontal, not vertical (Rule). I wanted to post the above picture because I liked the way… Continue Reading

Say hello to the black cube…
My pal D-L is staying with me for a couple of days and yesterday we hied ourselves off to the Whitney Biennial. I’ve said here before that the show is a no-win endeavor, given that it can’t really encompass what is truly interesting. There were people and works that I’ve liked in other contexts, but… Continue Reading
Acceptance is a phase….
(More trivialities – feel free to skip) Time to acknowledge that in the same way that a little bit of setback can spiral me into the conviction that it’s all over and that I’m worthless, a little bit of accomplishment can restore me to the feeling of being fit for human society. I’m talking, of… Continue Reading
Again on the go-go…

Work is going on to the walls at a steady clip, and the show seems to be surprisingly light on the… Continue Reading
Hand it on…
A bit more of the old slow and steady. This was a weekend of personal progress, where I took some actions that I’d been holding back from, and tackled some character flaws. I got some help on Friday, and that kicked my butt into action. The weather was bliss, such a shift from all cataclysmic… Continue Reading
