At the end of 2008 I responded to a request for everyday people to model for a group of local artists who met weekly in a free space at Jantzen Beach. During the process I met some wonderful amateur and professional artists, earned a few bucks and received several portraits of myself that I treasure.
The following are screen captures from a former blog that was hacked and is no longer available. I was able to recover them
using a cool website that has been archiving websites for decades, the

Quilters have their stacks of “some day” fabric, woodworkers their scraps “too nice” to discard, seamstresses their jars of "special" buttons Writers have their notebooks of “metaphors,” “transitions,” “characters,” etc., filled with scratchings and ideas that appeared--often unbidden--like literary puppies on their doorsteps. Among my finished pieces below I've scattered some of my "snippets." They are literary whimsy, not meant to be philosophical or even consistent with each other.
