    Language is confusing - I'm not referring to foul or abusive language but just everyday spoken language. I was with a group the other day and this subject can up. It brought to mind that if we're taught a language other than what we speak we don't get the whole picture. Language is like a virus it evolves. For example we can read a book written one hundred years or more and understand it. Yes, there maybe some words we'll have to look up in the dictionary but we can understand it. But the fashion or style it's written in is not how we speak. Another example is I can read a newspaper from another "English" speaking nation and understand most of it but not all - the idioms are different from place to place. Just though I'd get that written - deep thinking?

    Lately I've been questioning myself about my painting. I have always painted what I see or what I feel like painting. I'm not a commercial artist -I don't make a living painting. I just do it for self satisfaction. Recently I've been looking at other people's painting and they are making a statement or expressing their feelings in their work. That idea shatters my concept of why I paint - should I express my feelings? Do I have anything to say? Does anyone care about what I think. Should I care about what others think?  I don't express my opinions openly for fear of getting things thrown at me....or some such reaction. I think I might try it but what if I become an outcast?  I think I have always been the "odd person out." So, I think I'll start expressing my opinions about my life, my community, my country, politics and possible religion. I'm not certain about religion because that really rattling the cage - so to speak. Well I glad I got that off my chest and I appreciate the opportunity to.....?

    I realize there is a difference between speaking and writing. When speaking the listener can interpret what's being said by watching body language, facial expression and also listening to the tone and loudness of voice. The written word can be easily misinterpreted. Unfortunately, the reader applies the written word to their own demeaner and sometime completely misses the train of thought of the writer.Perhaps this has been a problem from the time mankind started writing things down. I understand that Plato didn't like writing because it would stop people from memorizing. Maybe language is going through the same transition with the advent of texting and tweeting. We'll see.PS I neither text nor tweet. Guess I'm a misanthroupe

    Some people evidently love labels - they just throw them around. Thinking back I 've been called everything from gay, commie to just plain stupid. Does that bother me - yes. I'm being judged by people who aren't qualified to judge. That's my thought for the day.

here I am

Almost St Patty's day. My wife told me two days ago she wanted to find a white bra and panty set with shamrocks on them for me. If she couldn't find them in white then she'd look for them in green with white shamrocks. That sent a thrill though me because I been having the feeling that she didn't want to see me dressed. 

I thought about it and realized that I wasn't putting two and two together. She has been having trouble with her teeth - actually she had a crown put on a tooth and then developed an absess on the gum. She has been doctoring it with the meds that the dentist perscribed but it wasn't working. She now has to have a root canal in the crowned tooth. Some fun. I've been giving her all kinds of support because her depression and her spirit was low because of the infection. She was feeling beat down.  I've been there and should have realized it sooner....I get too self absorbed sometimes.

Next week we have off and are planning to go up to Dallas/Ft Worth to visit art galleries and peddle my paintings. She mentioned a stop at a discount clothing chain in the area. She said "I don't need anything but ...." Of course I always fill in with "Gracie needs some things."

I'm married to a gem.  Luck me.
