Monday Ramblings

Random Thoughts of Children

Sunday, I learned that "Random Thoughts of Children" sold at the Vintage Albuquerque Charity Auction for $780.00.  I was glad I could help, and it brought a respectable sum.  I feared a certain level of embarrassment.  I want to thank Kate at Casa Vieja for all her support.

If you read my blog regularly, you know I hate most contemporary Christian music.  It is just bad POP music done badly.  A song leader with spiked hair, gyrating, making love to the microphone.  Well, I saw something Sunday I thought I'd never see at church:  A FOG MACHINE.  Not only a fog machine, but a light show.  What's next?  Lady Gaga meat choir robes?  Oh, how I long for an out of tune upright piano and song leader beating out 4/4 time to an old familiar hymn.  Here is a link to an article that says it all.  The Wittenberg Door

Monday evening it rained.  First rain in almost six months.  It sure smelled good, but not enough to register on my rain gauge.  Work in my studio is going slow, the fact it's a 100 degrees in there doesn't help.  I have eight new paintings; all in need of frames.  Pray for rain and a painting sale.

Navel lint:  My wife used to always ask me what I am thinking.  Navel lint!  Well, on the way to school this morning, I asked my eight year old son what he is thinking?  "Nothing," was his reply.  "Don't you think of nothing daddy?"  We men learn early.

American Express called me this past week.  Apparently I bought two first class tickets in Sal Paulo on the Brazilian National Airline.  Hmmmm. Damn, I wish I could have enjoyed that trip.

I want to thank all my followers in the Ukraine, France and Denmark, let me hear from you.  Hiram Ditty
