Helloooooo!

Well, I have been remiss here.  Things have gotten a bit hectic again and this poor little plot of webspace has suffered.  Luckily, there are so many nifty things for you to read out there.

Angry Chicken
The Amateur Gourmet
Getting Rich Slowly

Enjoy!  I'll be back soon.

Obsession, passion, devotion . . .

I love passionate, even obsessive, people.  Why just do something?  Be meticulous, unwavering and dedicated.  Why just consider a subject?  Devote yourself to it.  It is so easy to be lukewarm and milquetoast, I have to remind myself to indulge in passionate interest.

Lately, I've run across two people who create works of art (multimedia and culinary) from their passion. Maira Kalman is in love with Abraham Lincoln and Anthony Mangieri is clearly dedicated to the pursuit of perfect pizza. 

Their interest and wonderful insanity is contagious.
