MasterPEACE Art Show & Benefit

The Goss-Michael Foundation is hosting the June 11, 2009, 6:30 – 8:30 pm art show and benefit at their gallery on 2500 Cedar Springs in Dallas. The two hour fundraiser, streamed live, will be full of things to do, see and enjoy. The talented Dallas pianist Scott Bucklin is thrilled to be playing the John Lennon piano and will accompany the fabulous Dallas singer/actress Denise Lee and partner Gary Floyd. Raffle items include a month of yoga lessons, art books, jewelry, art works and more. John Katz’s delightful short film about the diverse groups of Dallas school children participating in the MasterPEACE lessons will be screened. And throughout the event, wine, beverages and delicacies will be served, adding to the festivities. There will be plenty to Twitter about!

Creativity and Invention

One of my favorites: Ole Evinrude got angry when the ice cream in his rowboat melted before he got to his island picnic spot - so he invented the outboard motor. from Karl Vesper

Possibilities

We make endless choices and decisions. Some are mindful, some - not so much. Challenges evolve, spiral but always come back to the same place, hopefully at a higher level.

Computer love

Interesting how a relationship can develop between human beings and objects. People develop affection for homes, cars, chairs, blankets, old transistor radios and the like. I have some of those same affections but I never, ever, in a million years thought I could "bond" with a laptop computer. But here I am happily tapping away feeling back at home in the world wide web. It just wasn't the same trying to write, create and develop on a series of "stand-ins" without my personal laptop. I am weirdly content.
