My Brother-in-Law Meditating
Sure it’s possible, says so right here! My sister sent me the photo below of my brother-in-law on his riding lawnmower, and I thought to myself, I bet he converts that repetitive chore into a period of mental clarity and presence. So I spent some time on my iPad Pro trying to convert that inspiring photo into some mindfulness of my own.

Appalachian Meets Balkan Sounds: Cuni with Lou Poster and Brad Swiniarski
There was an explosion of some awesome music and some unbelievably superb guitar playing one week ago, April 11, 2026, at the Federal Valley Resource Center in Stewart, OH when guitarist Cuni performed along with Lou Poster and Brad Swiniarski. I captured some photos and videos so that I could spend some extra time with the musicians on my iPad Pro using the Sketch Club app and an Apple Pencil. See the Sketch Club stats below.

More Tap Handles
I’m increasingly fascinated by these artifacts. I’m even a little disappointed when I see the neutral black tap handle. Don’t get me going.

Sand Hill Cranes in Ohio
A buddy of mine got me thinking about Sand Hill Cranes here in Ohio. So, while Annyth gets her hair cut, I had time to play around…over a Great Lakes Conway’s Irish Ale

Rev. Jesse Jackson (1941-2026)
I remember riding my bicycle on the 22-mile Hockhocking Adena Bikeway from Athens, OH to the campus of Hocking College in Nelsonville, OH on Sunday, September 27, 1998 to see the Reverend Jesse Jackson speak at a “leave no one behind” rally that kicked off Appalachian Cultural Awareness Week. Willie Nelson was supposed to be there, but he canceled at the last minute.

We Blew It at Athens Hot Glass
Yea, we blew it all right, but it was worth it! Back in December of 2025 Annyth had signed us up for a private glass blowing lesson under the guidance of Tiffany McCann and Gordon Blozy at Athens Hot Glass Glassblowing Studio that took place on Friday, January 2, 2026. It was instructional and fun. Annyth said she wanted a blue and orange vase, and boom, Tiffany and Gordon helped her blow it. I said I wanted a green, purple, and yellow Mardi Gras globe, and Gordon said, oh, a sun catcher, we can do that, and they helped me blow it. That’s how we started off the new year by blowing it from the start.
