Thanks Don!

And thanks Dale, You’re probably right about drawing pictures for your blog I think you’ll like the book. You should be able to find it in any good used book store.

I’ve often wanted to add some pictures to my blog posts but didn’t think I could get you to draw them for me. Great book recommendation. I’m going to give it a try.

I actually doodle. As I’m contemplating a problem I often simply doodle. The cliche squares, triangles, 3-D cubes, and Greek letters. I admit the same thing happens in meetings. I know in school I’d be accused of not paying attention. I’d explain that wasn’t the case. Quite the opposite. If I’m not doodling then yes, I’m not paying any attention to you.

I know Jes, that tweet actually led to this post . I had the title locked in from last week, but not the subject matter.

And well done! The year of Jes continues!

Cool post, especially since I was just tweeting the other day that I’d love to increase my drawing skills!

I love to run and to cook. The only way to be a faster runner, or to run longer distances, is to do more running – much like drawing. Practice makes better. It’s much the same with cooking, too. Cooking a new food will often give me an idea for how to improve another recipe, or I’ll learn that no matter how I cook a food, I don’t like it.

Constant practice and learning go a long way, professionally and personally!
