Here is my 2025 Energy Altar. 
Energy Altars are a thing now.

Earlier today at work, I was presented with an early birthday present… A beautiful print of Robert Smith from The Cure by a senior named Alex. I taught Alex last year and this year he is working with one of my colleagues. He knows I’m a lifelong Cure fan and he’s a fan as well. He and I each saw the 2023 Cure tour days apart (he went with his Dad). Music is one of the things over which we bonded when he was in my painting class and he mentioned this in the note he attached to this beautiful artwork. When I was his age I did a large pastel drawing of Robert Smith in my high school art class. I’m turning 52 on Sunday and Robert Smith has just reappeared in the high school art room I work in. Time is indeed a flat circle. Thank you Alex!



My Mom is a straight up SAVAGE.

Another KILLER cake from my friend Steve
with a very shady message on top. 


















I'm figuring out whether or not I want to keep or delete
Instagram and Facebook given certain changes 
that their CEO has instituted. BlueSky seems to be a 
nice alternative and this platform is also setting up
a photo sharing app called Flashes, which will start
beta testing soon. Here is a link to my BlueSky 
page if you would like to follow me...


More to follow. CHEERS! XO - CDM
