It's too late. I've started. Upcoming rants and raves have started brewing in my head. I'm a slow writer - it can take me hours to do a post. Things that keep me up at 3:00 - the fretting hour:
- Freelancing and Contractors - fear and loathing in the music world. No, I'm not going to rewrite Blair's Book
 but I've got a few thoughts about this.
- When is it time to get out of the way of the "hot, young players"? (and when did I get so old?)
- How do you figure out when you're wearing too many hats and starting to not look good in any of them? Focusing on a career instead of being jack of all trades, master of none.
- Is the pencil mightier than the computer? When a fascination with technology gets in the way of creativity and productivity.
- Floods of memories about places and people not thought of in years when an old friend finds you on the net.
OK. I've dared myself. Stay tuned. But time is scarce so don't hold your breath. Give me a year or so.

Cassandra's Nightmare by Kitty Mitchell
Friend Kitty Mitchell sent this back in July and I meant to put it up then but never got back to it.
Many on Ocracoke Island are opposed to offshore drilling for oil and Kitty paints the picture well.
Here's what she said back in July - some things have changed since then, obviously, but the issue
still needs to be addressed strongly.
I know I've stepped in it this time, but I don't care. The visions come for a reason so I'm passing it on. My newest painting is a post card to Senators Dole & Burr, and also to Congressman Walter Jones, and to Mr. McCrory. Three cheers to Bev Perdue who is the ONLY candidate so far that has refused to endorse off shore drilling. This will not be good for our economy. We have a thriving tourist and fishing industry that does not need to invest our resources in old polluting technologies when we are so capable of doing better for ourselves, our children and our planet. We have more wind than oil, it's ours and it can't be shipped to China. Feel free to use this image to save our coast, I only ask for artistic credit.
