    About this ebook

    Who are the real nerds? The true Jacks? The great second bananas?
    Are there some lifesavers beyond those sugared candies?
    And who exactly has nice pipes other than neighborhood plumbers?
    Art of Lists answers these questions and forty others. Its an artistic interpretation of Americas preoccupation with pop culture lists. Each theme is captured in an original painting, a list of free-associated names or thoughts, and a poem. The art has been featured in serious galleries. The litanies are quirky and subjective, and as is the accompanying verse.
    The result? A visual and verbal marriage of contemporary, everyday life.

      Julia and I and our fishing buddies, Cory and Dan, were recently invited to Costa Rica to fish with Capt. John Adams aboard Griffin, one of our 65’s. Silly as it may sound, I had never been out upon the Pacific before. Those warm breezes and flat-cal

      Creative Fun On The Farm

      Jul 10, 2020

      Too often, people think a farm is a place of drudgery that can’t feed the creative human spirit. So, when I was asked to write about creativity, music, and art on the farm, I felt inadequate to the task at first, since I’m known as a workaholic. I tr
