So, it’s 2025, and some of you have been sitting on an idea, or ideas, for how long? Five to ten-plus years?

This Ode to 2025 is a reminder to keep you, our “Village.” in mind.

How do you find some of your answers or solutions to creative problems? I have always been fortunate to find most solutions in “dream time.”

A new year can take place at any time. We don’t want to build a new damn without making sure the old one is fortified.

For the last month and a half, I’ve been cataloging the lyrics of finished songs I have written over the previous five decades.

Mom would have been 96 years old this February. She was surprised to see some of my early board games and would love a good game of Gin-Go.

I find that the new-year experience always causes me to reflect on the year past. What could I have done better in areas of my life?

I love how ideas come, especially when you‘re busy doing something unrelated. A good reason I’ve learned to keep a writing or drawing pad.
