I am an Air Force brat, a self-taught artist, and a part-time mom these days. I work out my artistic demons by making stuff and trying to find the humor when things go wrong. I have a spouse, two grown kids and cats that barf and bring horrible things into the house, so things do go wrong. My youngest is in college and only home during breaks, so I'm almost an empty nester, alone more than not and trying to figure out this new stage of life. Time to make a mess.

P.S. and apropos of nothing...
I read an article in the Sunday LA Times that began, "Laprise started his presentation by dumping a pail full of sand on top the conference table, alarming executives who worried about the wiring embedded in the table for PowerPoint presentations and technology demos. Armed with three rocks, a small wooden elephant and a flashlight, he spent an hour weaving a tale of a boy on a quest to locate meteors that have fallen from the sky and to uncover their meaning." This is for a new controller-free game device for the XBox 360, from Microsoft collaborating with a guy from Cirque du Soleil. Apparently, just body movements run the game. All I could think of is what happens if you twitch or sneeze...a meteor strikes your car, your spaceship flips upside down...? I don't know. I can imagine a few problems playing this one. And I'd make Laprise clean up after himself. Artists. Sheesh. :-)
