The Art of ...

Tea: Cherry Vanilla

Music: "Blackbird," performed by a duo of vocal (female) and guitar

Time: Night.

It's been a long, art-themed day for me, workwise. Deadline in the afternoon, a piece for a local arts magazine, and First Friday tonight in the Crossroads.

I can't complain. I met some interesting people tonight, got several story ideas, saw some pieces that stopped me in my tracks -- and it beats writing about people killing each other or having their houses blown away by tornadoes. It positively thrashes sitting at a desk, rewriting other people's stories about death and disaster.

But a long day doing something you love is still a long day, and long days bring stresses, and stresses bring cracks.

So I'm going to keep this short tonight, and wish you a weekend in which at least one piece of someone else's creativity buckles your knees (in a good way, of course).
