Summer ends

Summer has ended, although many believe the "best is yet to come". Paying attention to nature tells a different tale. Perhaps we need a new seasonal calendar now that the earth is experiencing warmer cycles. Yeah, I believe we do. Somebody do that, k?

Hot, Humid, and echoes downstairs

Magical change is afoot.  My wife's studio is coming along very nicely, despite the tendency of the various contractors we are using to flake.  True change is underway, at least in how our home will be used. Formerly, little corners or temporary spaces were utilized as needed when a "project" was underway to manifest creativity or to host get-togethers.  Now, dedicated open space, quickly filling up with teaching tools of the fiber arts variety, is providing new experiences when moving through our home space.  Feels good, healthy, and appropriate.  We are grateful.

First kill of 2010; won't be the last.

Four-pawed, fluffy-tailed, disease-carrying, territory-challenging, apple-thieving, orchard menace just put into the ground. Failed to sort them out last year, lost many bushels of apples with just one bite out of them *:L-( Took five pellets to bring it down, but done! This will be repeated from now until November. First kill of 2010.

iPad ... woot! ... for reasons not all agree upon

I want to change elements of my lifestyle, such as un-tethering from a pre-defined physical work space, beginning to use cloud tools more, changing my mental approach to “work”, relaxing my wrists, hands and fingers more, lightening the load made up of the tools of my trade, and exploring unknown territory along with challenging myself to alter my approach to productivity and accomplishment. I trust the iPad to be a suitable platform for beginning the process. I don’t have an iPhone or iTouch, and won’t get one, but the iPad is what I consider the first “adult” mobility tool that Apple has made available to me. I’m gonna get one and check it out *:L-)

Back in the saddle for 2010

Ok then *:L-) I believe enough "quiet time" has occurred for me to liven up the blogosphere again with my postings. Will stay positive in outlook, straight-forward in opinion, and keep fun in mind. Cheers, peace, and Namaste to all *:L-)
