Still Dreaming and Oh, an Art Show

It's weird how I rarely post here anymore. Why? Ah, that thing called life has a way of taking over. I seem to always be working or thinking about working or doing something. I rarely have time anymore for the thinks I really want to do. I promised myself this wouldn't happen, but sadly it has. I'm not really sure what to do about it either. It's not like I can quit yet another job so I can only do the things I want. I've been down that road and it has pitfalls, too. Right now, I think I am doing what's best for me and my family, but still, I yearn to do more for the dream. Again, I hear the echo of someday in my head. I do keep working toward it (baby steps), and I won't give up. So what if right now I still have to say someday. Someday will eventually be now.

Now, about those baby steps.

As for the novel: I've transferred the chapters to disk and have set them up on my (ancient) laptop, the one I used to write the darn thing. It's set up and ready to go, and I've put it out in the open. Everyday, I see it, and I am reminded to work on it. It needs to be edited. This is bringing me closer to getting it down. I'm slower on work this week, and it's time to get back to it.

And, for the art:

Tranquility, Kelly Gibbons, 2005.

I have entered 4 paintings in a gallery show where I work, King's College, Wilkes-Barre, PA. If you're near these parts, the show (18th Annual All College Art Exhibit) is in the Widmann Gallery (in the Sheehy/Farmer Student Center) from today until April 25 (9:30am to 4:30pm). All of the work in the gallery is done by members of the King's College community (staff/faculty/students) and includes paintings, photographs, sculptures and crafts. I'll try to post some pictures in the next few days. Oh, and if you do come down, come on over to the post office to see me!
