My Creative Space

Aside from not hanging out with Older men, (all that is supposed to be comical, by the way - don't take it all too seriously - cause then that seems interesting in a not so good way), I have been organizing my creative space.  This is what I've got so far.

It's a work in progress and the next item to tackle is putting up my drawings on the walls.  It's a good space to be in.  Come over anytime and sit in my chair and read a book while I paint.  I'll put some water on for tea.

Not quite a senior citizen.

He was two bar stools down when he gave his friend a note to give to me.

"Is this a note?"

"I don't know."

I open the twice folded sushi menu: "Can I buy you lunch Monday?"  ~ Steve, # included.

Uhhhh........my track record for 50+ year old men is on the rise if I say yes.  I wasn't sure what to do - so I re-folded the paper and let it sit there while I continued to enjoy my tuna tataki.  And then we all finished our lunches, and our conversations about Japan and flying and gardens and not working 9-5.  I still wasn't sure what to say in response to the note - so I didn't say anything.  He winked.  Hmmmm.  They walked out, then I walked out....then we were all in the parking lot - I said see you later and left.

I am still not sure what I am going to do.  What do men over 50 want anyway with me - who is 30?  I probably should be sticking to the 40 and under crowd.  And some people would say 40 is pushing it.  But it's a lunch, a simple lunch - and it would be free (uh, I think I meant fun).  But what if he asks again?  Or wants to take me flying?  Then you have to have that conversation...

Before leaving the sushi counter I left a note with the sushi chef, Akira, to give to Kuro, Tony and Toshi - my friends whom I meet up with for lunch occasionally on Saturdays.

They are all over 50.

At BYU I have been called the Simon Cowell of the professors by the students.

At Rivendell, an estate I design and whose grounds I manage I am known as Lady Lorien, and have been compared to the elegant Saluki.

Among my local friends, my people I dine and chill with the most....I am the Cramer of the group.

Do we see any similarities here?

Yeah Yeah

Yeah Yeah MrDavey.  I am here.  I have been working on some stuff on the side, ya know....in the dark, undercover...that may or may not bring a revenue in the far future....

Part Uno to this "stuff" will be ready for it's debut here in a little bit, like hopefully later this week, or at the latest next Monday, so stay tuned.  Part Dois, Deux, or whatever, will be ready probably in a few months - hopefully sooner.  Just depends.

I have been staying up way too late working on other landscape projects/deadlines - which really is a good thing because it means $$.  It just will be much better when I can get it under control, and go to bed at a decent hour...which could happen tonight if I decide to log off and go to bed, NoW! 

What funny or interesting story can I share first?  Oh well, I have none.  I have been all business lately.  Getting things really going - and it's pretty excited.  But I'll try not to be too business-like and get on here more regularly to share some humor or wisdom or both.

I turned my shrubby shefflera into a little tree.  I'll post pics tomorrow.
