Leslie’s Blog

http://www.entrepreneur.com/magazine/entrepreneur/2007/july/180484.html

Received my July issue of Entrepreneur Magazine this week. Great article titled, “Site Unseen” by Catherine Seda.

When you read the article, you will see why the title of this post seems incongruous with the content of the post.

Not really.

I will now become more conscious of my titles. Then again, making silly, quirky titles that promote mental gymnastics has been half the fun of writing posts. I am having too much fun making this blog mirror my thinking pattern, which is all over the lot. I create links at the bottom of my posts that usually hold some quirky link, a word pun, or a thought pun.

This is not just a colored pencil fantasy artist art blog. This is a Leslie’s Blog.

Have fun looking around. Be silly along with me.

OK folks. It’s officially TOO HOT. And it’s been this way for TOO LONG. The dog is bored, I’m feeling cabin fever. This really is our ‘winter’, where you become confined to the indoors because of the elements. No, elements.  It’s too hot for elephants. The radio just said 105.  It’s 3PM. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/forecast/MapClick.php?minlon=-113.41&maxlon=-108.98&minlat=31.22&maxlat=33.89&mapwidth=354&site=twc&map.x=204&map.y=162

So I have let my mind wander, wrapped around a tall iced coffee. Made it myself. Drinkin’ it myself, too.

And I’m gonna let the blog post for the day wander, too.

Flotsam and jetsam and lagan.

My good friend has begun a blog. It is WAY computer technical, and I am fascinated. He will only allude  to how brilliant he is, so I will say it straight up.  Brilliant.  He’s on my sidebar blogroll, but I am putting him here, right before your eyes…

There is SO much really great stuff being thought of and written about out there in the blogs. I am delighted every moment that I look around. Granted, graduating from dial up to cable connection has made a difference in accessibility…Nonetheless, it’s a great world out there. It is actually renewing my hope for mankind that there are enough wonderful thinking people among us. Hooray for us!

I have been to the Royal Highland Show in Scotland, and listened to the rain. http://fuzzydragons.blogspot.com/2007/06/royal-highland-show-2007.html

I’ve worried about Dan, and all the flooding in England. http://uniquest.blogspot.com/2007/06/twice-in-two-weeks-part-2.html

I visit every day with a rambunctious puppy that makes my border collie look obedient. http://puppies-diary.blogspot.com/

I’ve argued religion, naked, vicariously, in a men’s locker room. http://greatelsewhere.blogspot.com/2007/06/pattern-on-foosball_21.html

I have been to art shows, and art workshops. I have painted with oils, pastels, drawn with colored pencils, and run my hands over homemade felt cloth. I visited with my girlfriends while they made art together. http://jocastilloartblog.blogspot.com/2007/06/reading-assignment.html

I talked about the Golden Section, being a hippie, the Constitution, pasties, skeebies, mesquite beans, mud, Anthony Bourdain, Dylan Thomas. I have met squirrels, fairies, cats, dogs. I have visited Singapore,Wales, Scotland, Kuala Lumpur, Ireland, Texas, England. I have talked rain, snow, heat, flood, cactus, flowers, trees, pigs. I now know there is a whole new world of ‘smallholdings‘. I expect I am pestering some poor bloggers with my incessant comments. I hope I’m adding content:)

My coffee is finished. This post is finished. I just had to let you all know where I go with my blog. I love it. Tomorrow I will do more art stuff. It’s just too hot today.
