Postcards from Bagdad



My friends Karen Miner and Bob Moreland have a second book of Poetry now in print, Postcards from Bagdad. Though the styles of these poets are markedly different, both write from the heart. I have had the good fortune of being able to read the manuscript before it was published, and what I can tell you is that this is a wonderful tribute to those who serve our country. This book is more than just a collection of poetry, it is heartfelt, from the first line to the last. Whether you agree with the politics of the the war or not, these men and women have sacrificed to protect our freedom, the freedom we hold dear and sometimes take for granted.

Why is it....?

Ok... So a few weeks ago I said I would try to do something new. Instead of a painting-a-day, I said I would try a painting-a-week... Well, I had good intentions, but it ain't gonna happen! I'm down to finals, moving into a new place (having to figure out how I'm going to arrange my studio), and about ten other things going on all at once!

Now, on the flip side, good or bad depending on how you look at it, I don't have cable or internet access (that will come later... say in about 4-5 months). This is a good thing... when I get my studio set up, I will have no excuse for not writing or painting... right? After work and finals (Graduating this month!!!), I'll be able to jump right in and do what I love to do best! Now the down side... No background noise, no college bowl games, no Judge Judy (just kidding), or History Channel, Discovery Channel... Hmmmm... How much was cable again?

Ok, Scott, focus... Paint son, Paint! I think I'll break out some of my art books and get reaquainted with Hopper, Waterhouse, Renoir, Modigliani...

Hey... It's eight o'clock! My favorite show 'Scrubs' is coming........ Crap!

Where's the number for the cable company.
