ART WORK



Siegfried fighting Fafner over the Rheingold.

Start of a series of artworks done by me over the years.

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY

I have been busy lately - my department's Expo in October, all my other work, and arranging for an art exhibition at City Hall in October. Some days I feel like I am losing ground, but I can only do what I can do in a day, and then do what I can in the next day. One day at a time.

I have selected several nice pictures for the gallery - mostly from patients at a physical thereapy hospital. Two people - a man and a young woman - have done beautiful paintings using mouth sticks, because they can't control their bodies, and they are an inspiration to the hope and high spirits of people who rise above difficulties. I only hope that I can do the same. I guess I have risen above difficulties and probably have more courage than I give myself credit for.

I also ordered condoms for the AIDS prevention section of my department. I wonder what they think of someone ordering over 2,500 condoms. They must think I am really in demand!

I talked with an AA friend in Florida but she is OK - no huricaine damage. However, I did find out from Tony that his sister lost her house to Ike and we bought her a new one. I hate surprises like that, but it beats a casino bill! Also, things like this make me grateful that I do have the ability to help others.

I did see a friend take a 27year cake at an AA meeting today and that was nice. Also saw a newcomer at the second meeting in two days.

More later.
