Why am I doing this?

Hockey season is over and I'm bored. It's that simple. I can do what I usually do when I have too much time on my hands-- watch bad tv (dive into Bravo and don't emerge til September)-- but this summer is going to be different. I am going to attempt to take the things I used to do a lot more of-- creative writing and painting-- and recommit to them. Thank you, Bonnie, for inspiring me to go back to writing. Thank you, mom, Susie and Mary for encouraging me to pick up the paintbushes again. So here goes nothing... not sure exactly what I'm going to write about, but I'll figure that out as I go along. Come along for the ride... I'll try to make it at least mildly entertaining.
