Leisure activities of the rich and famous.


Every Monday, I practice something, say threadles and gambles, for a while, then go sit in a freezing cold driveway bathroom and paint the walls. The only way it gets better than that is if I think about inflation theoretical physics and the concept of energy expansion while doing so.


My days off might be different than yours. But I bet we all end up at Trader Joe's by the end of the day, in the same long line where a guy with a faded, full sleeve tattoo asks if you've ever tried that whole wheat tandoori naan before.

You probably do the same thing as me. Think about that bubble forming in the fabric of the universe somewhere, and nod your head and smile as he rings up your bag of dog treats. Then skedaddle out of there to go see your dogs.

I may not be painting border collies on bathroom walls at the moment but I sure do spend a lot of my leisure time nodding, blankly smiling and skedaddling outa joints to see my dogs and give them cookies.

Hey Laura, the mural is looking great. I'll be sure to check it out next time I'm up there.

How can I find out more about Dirt Nite? Which club puts on those classes and how do I sign up?

Thanks!

I am grateful to the agility dogs for the nice bathroom at Heart Dog. The icing on the cake is to be surrounded by your art as I sit comfortably contemplating that latest FC disaster.

Thank you for making the Bathroom a beautiful restful place. And thanks to Kathleen for upgrading the porta potty!
