With apologies to The Gin Blossoms Vote Hillary! (to be sung to the tune of Hey Jealousy) Hey the dirty hippies might be right too bad it won’t win them the fight you see the third-way rules the party now we need to maintain that status quo! And you losers just want stuff for free …

Dispatches From Hellpeckersville-Prints

I was so happy with the way my piece turned out last week that I thought  why not go ahead and try to get a print made? How hard could it be? Well, if not hard it wasn’t exactly simple either. The fact that I had no damn clue what I was doing wasn’t exactly …

Dispatches From Hellpeckersville- Back To Work

Sorry for the no post last week, I was down with a fever. The good news is that shortly afterwards I solved a problem with my art that had been vexing me, and I was able to get back to work. In my work I use some stamped images, and I noticed that no matter …

Dispatches From Hellpeckersville- Not A Morning Person

The things I don’t do for my kids. This morning we had to go have a GIEP meeting for Baboo. We’ve had one for Dan every year he’s been in school, but I’ve never gotten a single request that’s asked us to be there before 9:30 am. The original invitation asked us to come to …

Dispatches From Hellpeckersville-All Set Up

Finally, my workspace is set up. I am in a fair amount of pain, but I knew a flare would probably follow the rearranging and clean-up that had to be done to make room for the corner unit Cleetus bought for me, and really, it’s a small price to pay. We found a black glass …

Dispatches From Hellpeckersville- Workspace

Dispatches From Hellpeckersville- The Worst

Some schmo on an infotainment site named Hellpeckerville one of the worst suburbs of Philadephia in which to live. Now, he’s never been here, or to any of the other nine towns he named, four of which probably deserve to be on his list, but what the hell, buddy? What the hell is some dude …

Dispatches From Hellpeckersville- A Catch

My Dad is one, apparently. The feelers are out. I knew this day would be coming, but I am still freaked out about it. He’s not ready, he says. Not now. Not yet. But he will be. He’s getting phone calls. And of course, a few overtures from ladies at church. I don’t think he’s …

Dispatches From Hellpeckersville-Now With Even More B*tchface!

I got my Botox for Migraine on Monday. This time, my doctor gave me just a bit extra in my forehead and temple area. After my last appointment, she changed my topiramate over to the new time release version and upped the dose. We’re trying to get me more pain-free or low pain days a …
