Fall Seven Times, Get up Eight


"Instead…only try to realize the truth."
"What truth?"
"There is no hyphen."

I've been selected as one of the artists for acquisition for the Music City Center's public art collection.

In other news, my motorcycle battery was covered under warranty. I replaced it and went for a ride today, making sure I grabbed the season's first pumpkin space latte before circling back. When I got home, I worked on a painting, shuffled some furniture around in the new studio, and retreated to the studio couch again. I'm digging the studio couch. It's been years, I tell you, YEARS.
Here we are, hard at work. Someone's got separation issues.

Congrats! is it a specific painting or one to be named later in a blockbuster 7 artist trade?

The ride sounds fun. (Pumpkin Space?) Been trying to get up the nerve for a ride or canoe paddle today, a burst of wind or rain has hit every time I've stepped outside so far. Do you think it will give up if I ignore it?

Yes, but only if you drink the pumpkin space latte.

It looked like rain yesterday but I was determined to put at least 100 miles on the new battery, though I cut the ride short when I felt a raindrop. I imagine you have some great roads down there.

Re: painting. Thanks. No deets as of yet.

I looked but could not find any pumpkin space latte, it might be a bit chi chi for rural Mississippi. Had to settle for coffee but that seemed to work. Had a nice outing canoeing through gator infested swamps in the Noxubee Refuge south of here. Posted pics on FB. Cleared up towards evening, went for a ride through the same area and went until I ran out of pavement in a little Hamlet called Eden. There are some nice roads here. When I got back the tv said we were under tornado watch. Which was really weird since I didn't turn it on. Seems pretty calm here now.

It's over.

Nov 7, 2020. Tears of joy and relief. It's been unreal and I'm ready to get back to a sense of normalcy. The desert has been tough.
