Hurricane Harvey gives Kids a chance to see their future

September 4, 2017 Andy Myer

While the administration is busy dismantling the EPA and withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords, the horrifying flood in Texas gives a preview of the world our children and grandchildren can look forward to. Good luck, kids!!

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?
