Happy New Years

I have nothing, and it is all mine.

Turns out "my fork broke" also means "we need better silverware" and " I need a knife".   No need to say the last two at all.

Going to be cold tonight.  I turned on the heater for the first time this season, just to make sure it worked.  Then I turned if off.  It was around zero last night, and it was 72 in the apartment. Going to be -5 in the morning, we shall see.

My resolution this year will be to improve on my decisive ambiguity.

If I ever have to have hemorrhoid surgery , I hope I will be able to play the piano afterwards.

Happy New Year from the Burkenbines.

Hard to believe nobody got me a megaphone for Christmas.

painting darkness

the unknown is a dark canvas
    throw questions at it
til you have an answer
    here and there
like a big etch a sketch
and slowly but surely
a picture will form
....do it again...
 ...never stop...
