An Artsy Week-End

 


We had a great Art Show in our home town this past weekend with some fabulous art work. All kinds of paintings, acrylic, oils, water colors and sketches plus photography. Did I take a picture? No not one, but I have them all locked up here in my tiny little brain. I’m not a dumb person but sometimes I do dumb things….like not taking a single picture of great art works.  Actually, I did take one picture.  This is my sweetie and with her blue-ribbon winner.  This fabulous piece of art work is all fabric. It's about Ukraine called, Facing Oblivion. The background represents the devastation in that country. The sunflower is their national flower which continues it's tenuous bloom.




Nobody has ever called me a genius, but they have also never called me a nincompoop either. Although I really like the word nincompoop and try to use it as much as possible.  Since I live in deep East Texas, I get to use it quite a bit.



I have been slogging away at my new novel, so the blog has not been front and center for the last week or so.  I think since the novel is a serious piece, the goofy silly stuff that usually makes up the blog has taken some time off.  I woke up the other night and was worried that I would never think of anything funny again, but then I realized that was funny, so I went back to sleep…til noon. 



Back when I was a heavy drinker, I could drink a fifth of Johnny Walker Black in about two hours, and everything I said was hilarious.  You would think that since I pass through the day sober, remembering everything I do, I would have more silly dumb things to say.



Back in my radio daze, I was known as “Ole Weird Rod”,

Now that I live out in the country, I’m known as “Ole Retired Rod”, heavy on the “tired” part.

 

 

Stay tuned for future adventures
