I was wanting to copy a certain artist's style and decided to try a little sample to see if I could do it. Turns out, no so much. I'm WAY too insecure to show you her work just now. Perhaps if I do a better job one day I'll share it. Right now I was just trying to get the saturation of color that she does.... There are a couple of aspects that hint to it, but I'm going to have to call this 'a swing and a miss'. On other fronts.... literally.... the weather has warmed up and one feels a certain change in the general psychological atmosphere too. I'm sensing a shake up in the status quo. Right now I'm just making a note of the feeling. We shall see what fruit it bears. The other day, I was looking at some old posts to check on what was going on in my garden at this time in years past. Then I got an idea. Once in a while.... maybe often... I'm going to put a link to a post from the 'way back when archives'. Just for fun and contrast. The only thing that makes me hesitate is that I think I used to be a better writer than I am now. :-) Anyway, here's an entry from 2003, when I had a four day job working at a convention center, handing out name tags and answering questions at the entrance booth.   http://www.deardiary.org/yetzirah/2003/05/15/to-catch-a-train/
