Tonight I am assembling greeting cards using prints of my paintings. I plan to sell them at the Art and Garden Sale fundraiser for the "Friends of Island Lake". They are an organization that protects the environmental health of Island Lake in Shoreview, Minnesota.

I worked in a factory when I was in college. I find that many of my tasks in both my job and my hobbies seem to draw on skills I picked up working in that factory. Small changes in how the parts are arranged, or a change in the order of the steps can make a big difference in how long it takes overall. You have to pay attention to your brain when it starts to get bored or you will make silly mistakes. Sometimes my mind starts to wander and I start to make metaphorical connections between my task and some other aspect of my life, but I do not think I will go into that here.
