I forget I'm an old fart sometimes. Most art is tapping the inner child. But I gotta learn to embrace this mulch heap of years I've existed through.

Been writing a crime novel. Well a whole page over a year. I'm enjoying tinkering with with the few paragraphs I have. Don't know if I'll ever publish it. But it's fun.
