Folks wonder how I accomplish so many things, like where do I find the time for it all? Well, besides not having much of a social life, nor owning a television all my adult life, nor taking vacations or looking for entertainment outside of myself, I have lots of time to organize, speculate, design and create (as well as the bookkeeping, note-taking, email responses, website updates, blogging, etc.). Outside of having creative time, and the usual paperwork, keeping organized is the key to accomplishments. I am a left-brained, right-brained person, can you tell?

Peppermint tea English ala creme with Vitamin Bs and C and a dash of cellphone radiation is a way to start a vigorous day
Love seats are a necessary tool to accommodate to sporadic visitors and late-night Netflix videos while spinning Chilkat warp - this is the first time I've owned a love seat - they are not sprawling like a couch
HEY! It doesn’t look like it’s raining!! There’s hope!
I like this post.
You have nice stuff… but that phone looks ghetto next to all your fancy gear.
