Rememberences

Autumn remembered

 

I remember Autumn

I remember Autumn when I was young and the shadows signaled the end of summer

And growing shadows would chase me home for dinner

I remember Autumn when the shadows signaled the end of the nothing that me and friends were doing and foretold the coming of school where nothing was an activity that would not be tolerated.

For an young man 10, 12 or 15, the dying of the light meant something completely different than a Dylan Thomas death. 

But at that age who knew the difference

I remember Autumn

Sadness

I just unfriended a person I have know for some time now.  Although she is well meaning and is what I would call decent and nice, she none-the-less subscribes to some ideas from the right wing of the republican party that I find offensive.  After some time trying to get some agreement on reality that would serve as a basis for further discussions and possible agreement I deemed it a fools errand and pulled the unfriended switch.  This is the second time I have had to do this with some that I have known in the past and it does indeed make me sad.

Making some money

Decided that I should make some dollars if I can, so I opened up a store on CafePress.  You can go to the shop by clicking on the "Buy Dennys Art Swag" that is on the right of this blog (Flying Rhino Studio Swag).  If you like the goodies then have at it.  As indicated if there is one of my images you would like to see on the merchandise let me know and I can arrange it.
