Personal Horizon
With only a few exceptions this is one of my “continuous-line” drawings. My hunch is that the screen protector, finger grease, and my cheapo-stylus-nub team up and cause what I’m calling “intra-line outages.” I just may peel off the screen protector that was automatically applied to the new screen that I recently got, when I dropped and cracked my iPad screen. At any rate, I felt like doing one of these continuous-line drawings knowing that I had this linus interruptus phenomenon goin’ on; so, it is what it is.

Endodonic Therapy
OK, that’s a mouthful. So what did the focus group come up with?
For years I’ve wondered why it hasn’t occurred to at least four out of five dentists that there might be a better name for endodonic therapy than “root canal.” Please submit your suggestions in the comment box below. I’ll forward them to the American Dental Association.
Rather Big News
I learned today that one of the iPad drawings that I submitted to the mDAC Summit’s Mobile Digital Art & Photography Exhibition was accepted and will be exhibited at the Palo Alto Art Center during the month of August, 2015. In the category of digital painting there were over 700 submissions, and mine was among the top 100. To celebrate this great news everyone at portfoliolongo.com will have the day off tomorrow. In a few weeks, when the news is ready to be shared, I’ll post the announcement link and the image in question. The opening and reception will take place on August 7, 2015.
Rest in Peace, Cuthbert
On June 2, 2015 a friend and former confrère of mine, Fr. Cuthbert A. Jack, O.S.B., was laid to rest. You can read his obituary here. After his funeral the monks of St. Vincent Archabbey most certainly entoned the Benedictine Ultima, a rendition of which, accompanied by none other than Yo-Yo Ma, can be seen and heard by clicking on this YouTube link. See the Benedictine Ultima lyrics and sheet music below.
(Revised 6/12/15) Thirty five years ago Cuthbert and I – along with something like 13 others – were in the same, unusually large novice class. From that novice class only two remain, one at the abbey and the other at a parish not too far from the abbey. My condolences to them. Astonishingly, Cuthbert was the fifth to die from that group of novices. The others are off doing one thing or another. Read Cuthbert’s obituary; multiply it by 100. Why? He was a character for Christ’s sake!
See the three YouTube videos – inserted below – of Cuthbert making bread.
