This is my 90th birthday (May 23) – a major marker, they tell me: reaching 90 with creative work in progress, with excitement about life and possibilities. I’ve made some speculations on our website and occasional blog: playsonideas.com/2025/05/23/9...

"Summer," my watercolor about how we're embedded in our world is published today on Open Arts Forum, a good place for artists and writers.

It's encouraging to see activity and comment here to help counteract attempts to warp our reality to benefit the greedy.
