My Other Blog

If you're tired of reading my "cranky old man" musings, perhaps you might enjoy my more artful displays on http://observedart.blogspot.com/
Or . . . if you're feeling hungry, check out our Farm Foodies blog, just beginning as a way to give the Piedmont Farmers' Market farmers an outlet for some of their recipes.
http://farmfoodies.blogspot.com/

And then I would recommend that you check out my wife's quilting blog. It's all about their efforts to produce quilts for sick kids at the Jeff Gordon Children's Hospital. It's at http://quiltingforkids.wordpress.com/
