this and that

OK, so I have quite a bit of catching up to do. First let me say that I will address that whole 'belief issue' in due course. As to being gone and not keeping up on my blog...late Saturday night I gave my avatar an office chair to spin around in, so that's something. I don't know if the chair passes the rigorous ergonomic standards set out by our beloved institution, but it swivels nicely and that's the main thing you want from an office chair anyway. I want my office chair to be as much like a ride at Disneyland as possible.
I don't have much to report on the cardboard front. My creative time recently has involved a wood burning tool, a bag of cement, some ribbon, and an old table. The bag of cement was hands-down the most satisfying. I used it to add a step to the bottom of the rock steps in my backyard. Pinch me! There is nothing quite like a bag of cement to really get the creative juices flowing. If I remember I'll post a picture. I cut the table in half and mounted one side to the wall of my art room...very shabby French-country. I used the wood burning tool to make holes in a plastic Adirondack chair that needed repairing...it's too complicated to explain here.
Believing...why is it that most conversations about belief begin with the whole higher-power thing? That vein makes most people uncomfortable.
What about believing in the inherent goodness of man? (Joe doesn't). Or what about believing in Bigfoot? (Ditto). Those who know me best know that I love believing in Bigfoot. I figure, why not? I want to believe that there are things on this planet that remain a mystery. If we already know all there is to know then it could get pretty boring from here on out. Joe says he doesn't believe in anything; but his belief in superheros (and their endless list of totally believable skills and abilities) is hard to ignore.
