Over the last few days I have been suffering with back pain. I have been unable to do much for any length of time. I have tried to get some work done in the studio but could only manage to sit in the chair for about an hour before having to retreat to the bed or the couch to lay down. Debbie is still swamped with design work and works a very long day. I have been worried about her because of the long hours she works at the computer without taking a break. We are both very obcessive when we are working and can become so focused on what we are doing we become obivious to anything going on around us.

I have had several days of back pain with little sign of relief soon. I can only stand or sit for short periods of time. The only place I can find comfort is on the couch with my legs up or laying in bed. This is driving me nuts not being able to do anything.
Debbie finally had some time away from the computer and the constant stream of work today and was very happy about it, lighting up the house with her smile all day long. There was very little went on here today to write about.
This moring I went out on the porch and took some photos of Perkins. Debbie batch processed them in a feature in Photoshop and created a slide show on line where you can see the outcome of this photo shoot.

I have spent the day laying around with my back problem and not doing very much at all. Amanda and Josh came down this evening with dinner. Amanda cooked some great food and we all ate and sat around talking. I had hoped they would stay and watch the travel channel series Mark and Ollie Living with the Machigenga. Amanda was experiencing some stomach trouble so they had to leave just before the show started. Debbie and I have been watching this program for the last few weeks and really enjoy it.

I have been spending most of my time in the studio working on a new Dream Matter in graphite and charcoal and during breaks from my art I have been working a bit on my blog The Way Back Machine.
The blog is about the the culture of the 1960’s and early 1970’s. I have always had a fascination with this period and this blog is an outlet for this fascination. I have been seeking guest authors that have experiences to tell of their life during this period. Some of the guests have expressed their experience in poetry and other short stories.
The poster series I created recently is greatly influenced by this time period. I am offering these poster for the price of $15 + S&H. Below are some examples of the poster series.
Each poster print is signed on the back. If you wish to order one of these poster prints contact me at: sound_of_water@yahoo.com
Yesterday Debbie and I took some photos of ourselves out on the porch. Below are the results of this photo session.
