    • Something new for 1998
      This year my diary is intended to be more than a diary but also an accounting of my thoughts, compositions and mental wandering.

    • El Nino
      So all those a-bomb tests in the South Pacific are finally coming back to haunt us. Look for more natural "reactions" to our other man-made "actions" coming soon.

    • Resolution
      Keep thinking of my future life as a painter living in Key West or Savannah and selling everything I paint.

    • About 200-pages into a re-read
      of "Canopus In Argos" - Dorris Lessing...

      I first read the series when it can out in the late seventies. Nan bought me the "Archives" for our 24th Anniversary. It is so hard to read. But it brings me back and makes me remember my beginnings...

      Life in not about wealth, or power
      or material goods...

      It is about love, and communion, and sharing...
      It is, above all - about transformation.

      It is, above all - about transformation.
      How could I have forgotten.
      I have decided to give away my new paintings to people to whom they might make a difference.

    • I've started to interview...
      FYI - I am interested in web development or director positions that focus on content publishing, content marketing, user interface, integration and participation. I am especially interested in developing niche communities, hubs and portals for publishing, manufacturing and consumer businesses. After two-years at my current position I need a change and new challenges (and more money and appreciation :-). I am also considering contract work with businesses who want to use the web to accomplish any number of goals but need a development plan, scope of project and possibly a demo site created before making the corporate decision to go fully forward. I could then manage an outside resource or put together a team to implement plan.

     J ul y   18,   1 9 9 8

    • Finished "The Cave"... construction...
      Mission: "We are what we create - together"... Now to get the energy to take it on the road... (photos to come)...

      Learn some new things at Laurin...

     A u g u s t   10,   1 9 9 8

    • Art, Books, CDs, Cafe/Studio...
      Would really like to rent a space and start up a place to sell art, books, CDs, and have cafe stuff and art studio classes. There is a storefront in Sharon, CT on the green that would be perfect... also set up "The Cave"... there... Bringing people together creating, participating and interacting with art, craft and music - in a transformative way is my art philosophy - more than just "art for arts sake" - art for community and the individual... art for the soul!... art as an evolutionary event... Anyone out there have a building you are not using? anywhere...

    • SCJ Fast track...
      My plan for "Build-In" rates is going forward...
      "Build-In" Rate Charts have been approved...
      Web products have been "Built-In" at the volume and bulk print rate...
      As they sell print at a certain level the client gets a "Built-In" web banner...
      New Media gets a share...
      Of course best page positions are not avialable through the "Build-In" but can be added, or purchased separately...
