Above: one of my nightly drawings, an exploration in ballpoint, based on a photo at Sktchy. This is, indeed, “the” pen mentioned in this show. Curious? Tune in for a funny ballpoint story.

“…and I smiled at the sweet spot. These are the moments that get lost… thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of these moments lost through the years. It plagues me. I am glad there is a Creativity Matters podcast and an Episode 239 which is letting me string moments together, almost unexpectedly, into a story of a sweet spot.”
