Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes..
Today I found a quiet place, closed my eyes, and just started thinking of things that make me smile....my favorite things. I've listed a few, in no particular order, as a comment. What are yours?
Sketches
I'm trying to get back in the habit of writing every day. Lately, I've been working on character sketches. Some of those will find their way here, in the form of individual comments to this post.

Tahoe sunsets, and sunrises...
Walking down 10th Street in Santa Monica on a clear summer's evening...
