This is the second of two recent “hey, look, I’ve got a picture frame, let’s fill it with art!” pieces. (The previous entry, Fire Meets Water, was the other one.) While it’s very, very, easy to get a standard size picture frame and do standard sized artwork to fit in advance, there’s something a [...] If you told me to write a love song tonight, I’d have a lot of trouble.

Stopping point: when the spare moment ends. Band’s over, but the rain’s still falling and looks like it will be for some time. So I guess I’ll pass the [...] When I was in high school back in the 20th century, I was introduced to the concept of free writing.
