Daily Diversion #158: Wonder Woman
Although I’m feeling anything but invincible these days, I still think this Wonder Woman mural decorating a wall in the women’s restroom at the High Beck Tavern in Columbus is pretty amazing!

Daily Diversion #157: Sick Doggie
My sweet doggie, Crosley, is extremely sick. His 3 dedicated veterinarians are doing their very best to discover what is wrong. Although I remain optimistic, it is with physical difficulty and a heavy heart that I approach my work today. Today, indeed, words do not even matter.
Sick baby!
Happy Labor Day, America!
Be safe! I will be back tomorrow.

Who needs a pillow? Not Miss Zizi Jeanmaire.

“Although the sphere and importance of vision were expanding at this time, to say that visual experience was becoming autonomous would be imprecise. The aesthetic of illusionism engaged viewers as embodied spectators, physically drawn into an image or alert to beat a hasty retreat. One measure of an illusion’s success was its ability to provoke a bodily response-an impulse to touch or to flee. The challenges that modern life and modern illusions presented to modern subjects were too great for vision to handle on its own.”-from the essay Seeing, Touching, Fleeing by Michael Leja (Moving Pictures American Art and Early Film 1880-1910)
Daily Diversion #154: Worth the Effort
I could not let summer slink away without having frozen yogurt at least once. Perhaps I went a little overboard, but anything that separates me from my writing has to be worth the effort. This was.
Toppings overload
Daily Diversion #153: Please Pay Attention to Me!
Please pay attention to me!
Mr. Crosley does not like it when I work for more than 10 minutes at a time. He does not care that I have writing and editing projects to tackle. He just wants his ears rubbed and his tummy stroked. “Dead writers, schmed writers. Give me a treat. Please!”
