Oh High School
Describe something you learned in high school. The one thing I learned a few times in high school was that I could do more than I thought I could. In eleventh grade I was misdiagnosed with hepatitis. I spent most of the school year in isolation before they put me and my mystery illness intoContinue reading “Oh High School”
One positive change
Describe one positive change you have made in your life. The positive change I made kind of snuck up on me. I tried out yoga on a promotional challenge. You just had to attend yoga thirty times in thirty days and you would get a cute tank top and a discount on a future monthlyContinue reading “One positive change”
With People
What’s the most fun way to exercise? With people. Exercise can be grueling and often not really fun. I know this because I used to run long distances. I trained for my first marathon alone. At the time I didn’t know anyone who would want to do such a thing. I later moved to CAContinue reading “With People”
Signing
The egret commission is finished and only needs signing… Why this always trips me up, I don’t know. I have signed paintings and murals and drawings and books.

She was the coolest badass epitome of confidence ever in that movie. Or maybe Addicus from To Kill a Mockingbird. When I was young I wanted toContinue reading “Character”
How it’s going
So far so good. I’d say pretty well actually. The kids got the butterfly-breathing down pretty quick. (That was a good experiment. A whole group of first graders can learn to breathe consciously) They had good questions and good answers. I forgot how much this age loves art. When I used to teach, it wasContinue reading “How it’s going”
A Class of their own
What animals make the best/worst pets? We were just the other day, saying how snakes make boring pets, but it probably depends on what you are looking for. They can be decorative. They might even make you more interesting to others. They, of course, won’t greet you affectionately or snuggle on the couch. Probably won’tContinue reading “A Class of their own”
Is it a job?
What job would you do for free? Art. Staging. Design. When I started and even well into my career, I’ve found myself working for free. it’s a weird skill set. Art. Design. Part of it comes so naturally while the other part is purely literally years of practice. I might be like the guy whoContinue reading “Is it a job?”
