I've created eight comix so far this year. Check them out here. And I also wrote my first reflection for 2006.
2006 -- Will Wake Up Soon
My Journal
Every year I say the same thing: I am going to spend less time documenting and more time creating. But it never seems to work out that way. My plan for 2006: [same old story] less documenting and more creating. We'll see how it goes this time.

And, as you can tell from the layout, I am using CSS to design my journal this year.
Bio
My life story, the very short version: 1949, born in Pittsburgh (Steelers!) in a German/Bohemian family. Ages 14-20 spent in New York learning to be a monk (Marianist) which landed me at the University of Dayton where I studied philosophy, got too smart for my britches, and gave up the monk thing. I also studied psychology and ended up teaching at the community college in Dayton, Ohio for 33 years. Career opportunities resulted in a myriad of interesting paths such as serving as chair of the Psychology Department, learning to paint, and managing a federal grant that sent community college teachers from across the USA to India (I was in India many times, sometimes for six weeks at a stretch). Here I am, age 56, a veteran of Burning Man, retired and free at last, free at last.
