I have been working on the “junk in my trunk” for almost a month now. I am down a few pounds and have to keep going because I have many more pounds to go. I am on a hiatus from soda for three months and I am watching my portions (most days). So what else […]

One of the librarians showed me the secret room in the library if I’d write something about it. There is a secret room in the ceiling of VTC’s Hartness Library. 
You turn a key in a keyhole in a brick wall and a staircase descends from the ceiling with a great rumbling. Climing the stairs gets you into a disused room that used to be the bindery area but is now just used for storing shelves and old Eames chairs. It’s an odd and noisy room since it’s right next to the room where all the HVAC equipment is. They don’t use the room anymore because of ADA requirements and because it’s darned complicated to get into and out of when the library is open. I’ll add this freaky little room to my list of library attics and basements that I’ve been compiling. Places that don’t have elevators, places that are inaccessible or otherwise tough to get into. Thanks, Ben, for showing me another one. Here’s the list I can put together off the top of my head so far.

How did those mounties on Drawn! let this one get by them, eh?
I'm not a blog junkie... in fact, the only blog I visit daily is the critically-ignored Three Men in a Tub blog, and I regularly check out Drawn! But I ran across Jim Zubkavich's site for his book, Makeshift Miracle. The site is well worth perusing, and the tutorials are worth noting, especially to illustrators delving into working digitally.
I’m guessing after three months you won’t desire soda much anymore. Good news, actually! All best with the Battlefield of the Mind study. I haven’t read it but I am working on that area.
ALl good stuff coming from the Earnhardt household!! I’m so proud of you for sticking out this diet/exercise regime.
I have gone without it for a month — and still craved it. Maybe this time will be different! I hope so!
The mind is one of the hardest areas to work on, imo. I will pray for us both!
Thank you! I am trusting in the Lord to work it all out for me as I keep on pushing forward!
We’re in it together!
Thank you, Carol! It’s time we saw each other again!
