“An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why.” ~William Faulkner

Today plain got away from me.

It started out well enough. I sent out a job application first thing. After that I put on some housecleaning music and danced around deep speed cleaning. I vacuumed, which may not seem like much to you readers, but if you knew how much I hate the noisy heavy machine...

Then the doorbell rang and it was my daughter Ash with my surrogate daughter Hillary (Ash's best friend) and Ash's new beau, Rob, a kid I used to work with at Shitty Markup. A kid I was particularly fond of, so this is good news.

But there went my day; before I could say linguini, dinner plans were being made and the rest of the day was consumed with the making of it.

• Thai Chicken Stir Fry with Homemade Linguini, Asparagus and Broccoli

• Fresh Fruit Salad with Mango, Orange and Pineapple

• Green Salad (Ash insisted) with Romaine, Red Onion, English Cucumber, Avocado, Local Goat Cheese, and excellent quality EVOO and Red Wine Vinegar.

• Dark Chocolate & Lime Pie - a Key Lime adadptation with Chocolate Cookie Shell, Lime Custard, Chocolate Ganache and Unsweetened Whipped Cream

• Red Wine and Awake Dark Star Coffee

And a good time was had by all - except for maybe you :oP
