mynx said something about driving through kansas. twelve hours turned into two full days of driving mixed with pulling over on the side of the road to fall asleep. kansas will relax you! we thought they could turn this into a great advertising campaign for the state, as you could save lots of money not having to buy sleeping medication. of course i’m sure it’s a nice place to live. anyways, this is the impetus behind this painting, in its infancy.

very rough initial sketches for mural, perhaps.
trying to figure out this gargantuan dilemma…
i’d like to see a photo taken of power lines that isn’t at least a little interesting. not that i want to suggest that people make an effort to produce boring pictures of electrical wiring, but oh well, what the hell! let’s have a contest.

Had a lovely photo shoot and picnic yesterday with my friend John Mahoney. Two years ago, he turned ninety and celebrated with his entire family and some friends in Rockhampton, Australia. John is now the senior member of the Downers Grove Writers Workshop, where I met him in 2001. His most recent book of poetry, Nights at the Dream Cafe, is forthcoming. Photos taken with the most beautiful camera, Canon40D, and lensbaby (thanks, Mike).
