Living in the country, standing on the levee as the queen of all I survey, clouds and the sky they live in, success, understanding myself and others, cursive-script-letters-alphabets, the underbelly of society, raising chickens, sketchbooks, riverbanks, islands, building things with wood or metal, welding, cutting things with the torch, cutting things with the saw, derby cars, drawing, making papercuts, voluntary transitioning, smelling kneaded erasers, evolving, gourmet cooking, sipping coffee, ignoring people, pickles, scrabble, being ambivalent, pit bulls, sushi, steak, reubens, celery, tattooing, county seats, duty-free shops, wearing jeans, cracking skulls, fried chicken (not my chickens), planting trees, treehouses, my doggies, looking around, observing the stars, minimalism, clutter, motorcycles, 4 wheelers, bonfires, collecting mouse skeletons, collecting any skeletons, eating raspberries, how the plight of the indians led to an eruption of casinos, stepping on cracks, and a little bit of writing here and there. Amish boys.
