It seems to align pretty well with what you’ll find if you search for Cucumber Salad or Pickled Cucumber Salad… but those names seem to be a little too grand for what actually just amounts to cucumbers and onions in vinegar water. However, this is oneContinue reading "Cucumber Salad"

I’ve been drawing for a long time. Not professionally, but purely for the enjoyment of creating things on the page. It’s really just a relaxing hobby. While I don’t do it professionally, I do like to share from time to time. A friend just asked me to share what I use so he could doContinue reading "My Digital Drawing Setup"

Our small group has been discussing screen time. Not the Apple product, but just how much our screens impact our lives. One topic that came up was social media and the reasons why we share things there. I was reminded of a list of questions I came up with last year. The idea is toContinue reading "Pre-Post Self Check"

I recently read his book, The Relentless Elimination of Hurry. SO. GOOD. Highly recommended read. Anyway, John led off his discussion onContinue reading "Through A Mirror Dimly"

We’re often deceived into thinking that being subject to a king means to give up freedom and individuality. When I picture kings and subjects, I think mostly of movies where kings were rich and ruled with an iron fist and used poor peasants to do their bidding. That’s a filtered view though. It’s like thinkingContinue reading "Slave Or Subject"
