Sunday, 17 Aug. 2025! I took a shower! (Hold your applause until the end, please.) Seems like time has reached "ludicrous-speed" lately, and there ain't no "FREE" in the average day. (I'm sure you can relate.) Despite the CRUSH of duty, I've found ways to sneak CREATIVITY into the mixture. Priorities. If you really want to make, little short of COMA will stop you...or ME, anyway. (Even if I'm in a coma, I'll find a way to possess someone else's body and make art with that! I'm really dedicated to the craft... (HA!)
