Don't forget about MILESTONES!

It's campaignin' season!

HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 14, 2015
Summer here is hot and dry, but it's so short that sometimes it feels more like a coffee break in an endless winter than a real season. People who live in the prairies know that each summer day has to be savoured - tucked away as a little memory for ...
Those images that get stuck in your head
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 7, 2015
Is there a word for these?
I’m talking about those things that you automatically start drawing when you have a piece of paper and no specific ideas in mind. The images that find their way into the margins of your notebooks, onto napkins in restaurants…or on a whiteboard ...
