The Other Calamity

As the nation watched east Texas prepare for biblical flooding, President Trump pardoned ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio for his conviction on racial profiling and intimidation, and formerly issued his trans-gender ban for the military. It's hard to say which disaster is more horrifying.

If you've somehow found your way here, welcome, welcome. This is my very first blog entry, so this is a pretty momentous event in the history of human communication (and lucky you, you're here to witness it!)

While you take a second to calm yourself, I'll simply say that this space will be devoted to my assorted passions: creating outstanding books for children, great graphic design and illustration, every conceivable kind of humor, animated shorts, jazz piano, environmental issues, and political discourse (instead of diss-course). And of course, there may be random thoughts on family, friendship, and the messy business of living.

I never aspired to write a blog (actually, the mere thought of it made me queasy). But now that I'm here, I'm kind of curious to see what comes out of my brain pan. I hope you'll find it worth your time.

Gee, that wasn't so bad, was it?
