I really appreciate the interest in my carvings. I take it as a great complement when someone asks me to carve something for them or just takes the time to look at my work. So to all of you thank you so much.

I don't always have the energy to say so as it is usually late when I get on here and check things out but I just wanted to let the people I watch know I think you all do great work. Well I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy the time with family and friends.

The days are getting shorter and people are soaking up as much of the sun as they can. Now is the time that everyone starts to get in the frame of mind for winter which seems to be a challenge for a lot of people, but not me I enjoy winter. I love the beauty the snow brings to the world. For me winter brings a sense of freedom and peace as a lot of people stay inside and do not venture out unless they have to. But I love the quiet and solitude of winter. My dog and I get out as often as we can and hike the woods and beaches and hills. There are people out just not as many and it is easier to have a place to myself. Anyway I am rambling and some of you may wish I never discovered this journal writing lol. Hope you all are having a great weekend.

1. I love to wood carve. A lot of my carvings are from logs or drift wood I have gotten off the beaches.


2. I am single/divorced but enjoy my own company and of course the company of my black lab, Ranger. You could probably call me a confirmed bachelor


3. I hate to see other people or animals hurting and do not understand all the cruelty that goes on in the world. So I have a tendency to be a hermit in a lot of ways. That may not necessarily be good (kind of like the ostrich with its head in the sand) but at this point in my life it is what I am comfortable with.


4. I have never volunteered for anything except the army. I think about it but I am always at war with the hermit in me that does not want to get involved, that just wants to ignore all the pain and suffering that goes on in the world. So far the hermit is winning.


5. Did I say I love my dog he is my buddy and shadow. I also had a ferret but he died a few months ago.


6. I love the ocean, hence living on an island. I love the smell of it the constant motion of it and all the life that is on, in or around it.


7. I look at DA as a way of putting myself out in the lime light even if it is only through me art work but my art work is so much a part of me that it might as well be me, if that makes sense. And thus by exposing my art work/myself, in a sense I am forcing myself out of my shell and as a result growing in a positive manner. I hope


8. I love Calvin and Hobbes


9. I have enrolled in a stained glass class so you might be seeing some of that work in the future.


Well for good or bad there is my first journal entree. Who knows when there will be another one
