Sometimes while I paint I listen to artists pontificating on the rewards and perils of the creative life. Then other times I listen to Behind The Bastards. So anyway, here's this.

It's a sidequest but we listened to Leon Redbone again recently and I looked him up — his life story is fascinating.

'Redbone was described as "both a musical artist and a performance artist whose very identity was part of his creative output."'

Layoff crucial CDC folks on Friday, claim it was a mistake and rehire some on Saturday, blame "Schumer and radical Dems" on Sunday news shows. We see you. 👀

Well now this round of CDC layoffs and immediate recall sure looks like a stunt timed for Sunday news shows. (And their logic makes no sense, of course.) Shameful.

Kintsugi is the art of explaining metaphors instead of experiencing them.

I just realized I don't know what C-Suite stands for or what it is and I'm going to try to die without finding out.

I write because I love writing. I love writing even when I'm struggling with a writing problem that is killing me. Finding a way through that problem is both intensely rewarding and also helps me become a better writer. There is no reason for me to ever outsource that.
