I'm honoured to be among artists, even more because I'm no such thing. Most honoured! Even when I log off :)<br /><br />Grant: we can make a deal. Organize the ladies and I'll take the pictures!<br /><br />Karl: I'm with you: people often define themselves with irrelevant externalities: what car they drive, what job they do, how much they earn per month, what clothes they wear - even what music they listen to - although none of this has anything to do with who they really are!<br /><br />Israel: you're onto a good wicket - grood self-discipline there: in my experience most men are terrible hoarders of 'useful' things that don't get used for years, even more so than women! Mind you, women often like throwing things away just so that they can get new ones...<br /><br />Pure one: I ADORE Carlin, but my bandwidth, oh the terrible bandwidth... it comes out like slow-motion hiccups. Sigh.

By "our" I don't mean it in an exclusive club sort of way- it's not. In my ideal family- anyone who wants to be there is welcome. All points of view, styles, ways of life are accepted on their own terms. The only requirement is just a desire to participate- and even then participation is completely optional. I suspect many artists don't do well in "joining". It's what I like about the computer- I can turn it off and walk away. I can chose when and where I want to be without worry.<br />I just didn't want the whole "our family" thing to seem creepy- because it kind of did in retrospect. But anyway- welcome friend. Enough said.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-137468577960463024.post-57800370938813024652010-06-30T05:16:03.801-07:002010-06-30T05:16:03.801-07:00I completely forgot to mention yesterday how much ...I completely forgot to mention yesterday how much I loved the photo- and today's photo too- perfect representation of uncluttered!<br />If you end up on the news- I'll watch that story and I'll call up the dogs and remind them about the brandy.<br />I have way too many things- it's an ongoing issue. It's that whole attachment thing that gets complicated.<br />BTW- welcome to our family of artists! It's what keeps me blogging and creating- connections are even better than things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
