When you’re absorbing reports on current events, do you ever find yourself shaking your head and saying “You can’t make this shit up”? Today we start Daylight Savings. Yes, there’s a connection between sentence one and sentence two, gimme a minute.

The SD Union Tribune, one of my daily sources for current events, was late with this morning’s posting. Quite late. Could it be that staff lost the Daylight Savings memo? OR could it be resistance to the cultural time-construct that switching clocks backward and forward signifies? I’m always down with resistance. Go SDUT!

Much is coming up in the weeks/months ahead and I’ll be attending. Please join me if you’re able.

I’m teaching the Hardcover Concertina Book with pockets and embellishments. FREE. Pre-Registration is a must. These workshops fill. Plus, though all materials will be supplied, this isn’t a “just drop in” kind of gig. We start at 1130 and proceed gayly from there. To register, go to Front Porch Gallery
