The starting gun is about to go off. The sprint is about to begin.You remember the sprint, right? Before we were confined to our homes and our extracurricular activities got cut off at the knees, we were expert sprinters. Rushing from one thing to the next with great efficiency. Oh, our health sometimes suffered and we were often too dizzy to consider if all the activity was even worth it, but we were good at running the race. It was almost comfortable.Then the world stopped.For the first time in a long time, we had time on our hands. Time to spend with family. Time to prepare and eat real …

I Got a Rock
In the immortal words of a trick-or-treating Charlie Brown...I got a rock.It wasn't just any rock, mind you; it was a kindness rock. If you are unfamiliar with the concept, people hand-paint ordinary rocks with inspirational or encouraging messages and leave them in a public place for someone to find. This particular one was shaped a bit like a heart, painted red, and included the words, "Love you." I found it on a walk, near the lakeside bench where I like to sit. I immediately recognized what it was, but completely resisted the idea that it could actually be intended for me. After all, …

The Fears and Aspirations of a Paint Tube
This is not a medieval torture device. But it is one of my favorite new studio tools. It has one job, and that's to squeeze all the paint from the tube. And it does it very well. After using it a few times, I can finally rest assured that from this day forth, I will get my money's worth out of every tube of paint I buy.A flattened, used-up paint tube is quite a contrast to a fresh one.There is something about brand new tubes of paint that makes artists giddy. Fresh and unspoiled, they are loaded with potential and brimming with exhilarating possibilities.On the other hand, the used-up tube …
