winding down
------------------------------------------------------------------
to be honest, i am not sure how many people actually read my journals (or look at my work)... i know that i have a bunch of watchers... but that doesn't really mean that many people truly pay attention to what i do... i suspect that about a dozen or so people do... (and i want/need to say 'thanks!' to those of you that do!)... which, considering the medium and the forum, is really a fairly good number...
in any event, those few that do pay attention may have noticed that i haven't posted nearly as much as i did a year ago... that is due, in large part, to the growing demands of parenting... my twins turned three in august and need a lot more of my attention and energy than they did a year ago... in fact, i am beginning to wonder why the 'terrible twos' are given so emphasis when, in my brief experience, the 'threes' are more difficult (but that is a 'story' for another forum)...
another reason for my 'absence' is that, now that the boys are entering preschool, i am preparing to go back to work... i have found a good restaurant in the city (san francisco) and should start there in the near future... which means that i will be online even less than i am now...
with that in mind, i plan to pare down my gallery to a handful of images... and i will be unsubscribing to most (if not all) of my deviant watches... so, i guess this journal is a kind of parting salutation... i may post a last few images that i have shot recently... but, for the most part, i won't be around...
i have seen some good art here, from both mature and developing artists... and had some great conversations about art... and i have met a few really great people...
so... well... thanks, everyone!...

hhhhmmm... well, I served a lot of great food... but when you run a restaurant during the holidays, you often don't have time to relax and eat...

(laugh)... I suppose so... actually, for what it is worth, I have lost weight since I returned to work... despite the fact the menu is quite rich...

quite honestly, though, i'm embarrassed that looking up my name on google renders pages of a place called deviantart. i consider taking my gallery down.
congrats on losing weight, if that is what you wanted to do. i can't seem to get back to my weight before my last child. my job finds me sitting sedentary at a desk but stressed as though i were being chased by a lion. the worst! i'm not overweight though. just not super slim as i used to be.

embarrassed?... that is a strong feeling... why embarrassed?...
for what it is worth, there was a time (a couple years ago), when the site seemed very different than it does now... or so it seems to me...
(grin)... thanks... I did need to lose the weight.... 2 years of cooking for the family added the pounds... for better or worse, I learned to cook from traditionalists - everything with butter and cream...
as an aside, I visited your dA page today for the first time in a while... and you have a real self-portrait posted (!?)... and, once again, I find that so odd... and therefore interesting...
for me, there is always a moment of vertigo when I see the image of someone who I know only by way of their "voice"... it happened with Garison Keeler, too... from the radio show: "Prairie Home Companion... wait... you're from Minnesota... you don't need me to tell you who he is... yikes...
in any event, I think that, somehow, something is lost when reality comes up against a construct... and, maybe, something is gained, too... maybe, I'm not sure... which is, as you probably know, part of which informs my art... or, in this case, informed... since I really have no time to make work these days...
ok, I'm rambling... sorry about that ... too little sleep, I suppose... in any event, it is great to hear from you... give my best to your husband, et al... and happy new year!...
