What's Going On?

I can't say welcome back to you, because I'm the one who has been gone. I was gone for years focusing on my software UX/Design work for Lenovo. But in Jan this year, 2022 - holy cow 2022 - I retired from softwareland. I am now ready to indulge my less linear side. I know my engineering teammates are probably all rolling their eyes at since linear is probably not a word they would have associated with me. But, the design process is both linear and iterative, like the creation of art.

Art is where my head and heart are now. Always my head has been full of ideas for sculptures, pictures, collages, things I could make. Ideas sprang up like popcorn. Always I was thinking, "I want to make that!" Always the answer was "no time." Now I have time, space and tons of materials I've collected over the years to turn into things that I've always wanted to see. Now I need to build the skills I need to create the things I want to see. 

I also want to share what I make. That means dividing into the deep end of social media. That's a post for another day. 

So stay tuned. Now that I'm focused on my creative life, I plan to keeping this blog up to day. 

For now, please enjoy some lovely pictures of Saltine and his sister, Strudel:

Here's Saltine, Salty, himself. Whenever I'm working on the computer, Salty and Strudel are supervising from the high shelf. That's Strudel laying beside him with her back to the camera. 

Here's Strudel-Noodle taking center stage. 

Here's the pair.

More to come....
