GENTLENESS (1997)
Acrylic on Canvas - 11” x 13”

Not a classical Virtue, but based on observing my young son with our aging family cat. It's how I hope we'll care for all the earth's creatures.

Next on the #BlackHoleWeek game list is Stellar. This 2-player game has players making telescope observations and recording insights in their notebooks. One of the objects you can observe are black holes, and I love how the illustrations seem inspired by real-world black hole observations.
For #BlackHoleWeek, I asked my spouse to play a bunch of games featuring black holes. First up? Twinkle, Twinkle, a tile-laying game of mapping the sky. Watch out, though. Black holes zap points from stars and planets. Satellites, though, don’t mind — it gives them a chance to take data!

My review of the newest David Lowery film, featuring the brilliant Michaela Coel and wonderful Anne Hathaway, is up!

More pictures of Beltane, this time from excellent local photographer Tom Duffin. Better, frankly, than those in the Evening News...

The risk posed by the SARS-CoV-2 virus — the cause of #Covid19 — is much different these days than it was in April 2020, when we were all learning about social distancing & flattening the curve. What happened? What does it mean for us? Experts share their thoughts. https://www.statnews.com/2026/04/27/is-covid-still-a-thing-expert-analysis-who-needs-vaccine-booster-shot/
What happened to Covid?

The thinking about what risk Covid poses — or doesn't pose — has shifted in recent years. What does it mean for you?
