Today Susan, Belle and I visited Cavallo Point and were joined by Elissa.  It was amazing to see the space again since my visit 3 weeks ago with Adrian, knowing that in January through March 2013 I’ll be having a show there. Leigh, the curator was AMAZING –– so BEYOND and great and I...

Tonight’s Harry Potter Party was super-fun, although I have to admit I find the movies utterly impenetrable.  I’ve read (and enjoyed) the first book, but it really does seem like the most complicated, arcane study and all the movies have blended together into one confusing swirl for me.  Lots o...

Sometimes the Universe gives you signs. But it’s particularly interesting when the signs are on, well, signs… This sticker was 100% there yesterday on the parking restrictions sign directly outside our door and now it’s gone. Seriously –– someone, government-paid or not, has removed it. B...

OK, technically one’s a David and one’s a Dave (and I respect that given that I’m an “Edward,” and while a hard-core group of college roommates and people who’ve known me since the Eisenhower administration call me “Eddie” (which I love), I’m not so kee...

Two online marketing seminars (one ridiculously inept and the other amazingly helpful and generous). One client lesson. Lunch at the Art Institute with Susan and Belle. Two great conversations with Andrea Lake. Revamped the mailing list with a major import of contacts, increasing it by 30%. Redesigned my n...
