I'd like to keep things kind, friend. The whole point of my little "mid-life crisis project" is to simply immerse myself in the community, and yes, all of life is art. I say this repeatedly about my friends who are farmers, the folks at the hardware store who are absolutely artists in the lives of the neighbors all around me as a communal tapestry is weaved down there, experience this by being seeing life interpreted through the eyes of my wife the painter, and have observed that those called to lead our community are artists in the full sense of the term. Life is more satisfying when we dare to delight in all of these things... Frankly, I love to write about the common and simple things that most people overlook.

Litany. Now that's a damn fine word. Thank you kindly, Mr. Tim! We'll see what we can do along those lines...
