Research Papers and Such...

Here I am in the second semester of my sophomore year of university. At age 43, it is still very unusual to be in classes with fellow students my own children's age, and professors either younger than myself, or barely older. One professor asked me to call him by his first name since all his other students do, and it would make him feel awkward since we are 3 years apart if I did not too.

Now, to begin my research paper due next week. My chosen topic is "The History of Ink". Yes, it is for my Art of the Book class, where I am learning to typeset, print, create, cut, etc. all types of books and printing arts. I can write, however, this is my first art class in my entire life consisting of crafty bits. I will prevail!

George is getting my first project as part of his Father's Day bundle. Yes, a Baseball theme...It was inspired by him when I see him put on a ball cap. He looks like a young lad again, with the expectant wonder each time the pitcher winds up to deliver the ball to the batter. Love you dad!
