So the Buddha was born
today as she is born each
day & each breath in each
of us.

Almost No Wireless Anymore



All day I've been mess-
ing with my sick compu-
ters. I'm getting close 2 giving
up on the whole business
& living my life "wireless."
Close but no cigar, that is.

Ed Ruscha Webcast



I'm listening to Ed Ruscha
now via webcast. He is
talking about other artists.
He is making jokes but
no one is laughing.

ART?

More on Cezanne's ?Death?



My sister thought Cezanne
was dead, confusing him w/
both Mikaelangelo & Pablo.

Reports of
my demise
are gr-

eatly exagerat-
ed. My
art lives.

I was listening to the audio recording at the Cezanne exhibit and one of the people speaking on the recording (the curator of the exhibit) was also there in the gallery taking through a couple of rich folks. I listened to his voice on both the recording and in the gallery at the same time.

Visiting Cezanne



I went to see Cezanne,
the man who leaped to
modern times.

I heard the audio recording at the museum. The curator who was speaking on the recording was taking around a very rich man and his wife. So I heard two sides of him. Very eerie.

Father/Son



My old friend and son talk.


My grandson takes command of my Palm.


Simon Deschamps

I visited Kim and his son in Philadelphia and drew this quickly on his Palm Pilot. (And a few hours later Simon (age 12) started his own blog: http://1picaday-simon.blogspot.com)

Here's why I retired . . . (exclusive)



I retired so I'd wake up one day &
wonder what I was going to do.
That was over one million seconds
ago, and still it hasn't happened.

all, down to the roots.

Austin is Wierd



I didn't know what to do.
I moved to a city that is of
music so much so that the ground
vibrates from so much bass. I
like (loud) music (not) . . . Almost as much as
quiet.

Austin is wierd.

Shut Up!

I can ear U!

(Note: Every band worthy of calling themselves a band
is here in Austin for a festival. When I started the drawing
the ground shook. Yesterday I was trying to meditate and
the ground shook. My wife was driving down the street
today and the ground shook. It ain't good for the ground
to shook so much!)

(Note 2: When I wrote note one it was quiet, but now
I hear drums again. AND IT IS BEDTIME! 11 PM ALMOST.
Don't they know what Ben Franklin said... "early to ..."
Oh, that's better. They are quiet now.)

No More Expression



So my new goal is to no
longer express myself but
rather to reflect the
world.

Realness



He believed with all
his heart that everyth-
ing he saw was real
except a mirage, a pre-
sidental promise & a
Nigerian email.

(My apologies to all the
millions of Nigerians who
send legit emails.)
