New Work

Here’s a new image in the TINAW series, called Prowler.  

Personal/Professional

I’ve finally created a web site that is more than a forward splash page.  Thought you guys might like to see my favorites over the past ten years.  Let me know what you think, if you’re so inclined….

A Decade in the Making

Good 2010 to all of my fellow Hollow Souls. I’ve been in a particularly reflective mood in this New Year, and I want to explore some of those reflective moments with the rest of you, if possible.  It’s been a decade since the calendar flipped over to the year 2000, a lot of fears never [...]

Surfacing and Resubmerging

My apologies to all of my fine fellow Hollow Men.  I am making a short reappearance, and then will probably not be on much over the next week.  Steph’s finishing up her last semester of classes, and it makes it hard to do anything at the computer other than work.  I look forward to getting [...]

Inspiration

Thanks, JE, for hosting Amanda and me last weekend. We had a wonderful time and were thoroughly inundated with artistic inspirations at every turn. I left with more motivation to return to my artistic nature than I have felt in a super long time, it was good for my soul. I would like to incorporate [...]

Thanksgiving

I’m curious what all of your plans are for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Of course, I always think back to our run of Thanksgivings and miss them. Jen, Beckett, and I will be going to Washington State to be with my parents and sisters. It should be great, and it will be nice to get [...]

Hold the Phone: Conversation among the HM

As I promised in my comment on the last post, I thought I’d put something up in the hope of getting some communication going. So what better subject than communication. Specifically, about the phone. I have to admit to all of you, though it’s no surprise, I have probably been the worst about keeping in [...]

Blog etherised on a table…

Let us go then, you and I…

The Blog Is Dead

We’re coming up on three months without one new comment or post.

No Line on the Horizon

Looking out to that horizon, today, on the release of a new U2 album, it seems appropriate to write to you all with a serious proposal. Namely, let’s look forward and think about a significant journey to Ireland. I’m not suggesting this happen next month, maybe not even this year, but if there is interest [...]

Keeping Up With

Eliot came home a couple of weeks ago and all of the sudden read me a book. It was quite a moment for me as you can imagine. We’re reading the Tale of Despereaux, which is better than the movie. I just finished reading a book of essays by Wendell Berry, entitled, The Way of [...]

Thanksgiving

Oh the long tradition. Much regret we are not gathering together. Many good wishes and gratitude to all of you on this Thanksgiving. A lot to be thankful for this year. A raised glass to you.

Baby Double Weekend

Yes, indeed, we might well have been the luckiest of all our friends this weekend. We got a first hand Beckett sighting and Clara sighting as well. Bouncing baby Beckett, a bundle of beautiful babbling, was quite the sight. We are grateful to the Shotts-Aspengrens for hosting us and only wish we would have had [...]
