This is the time of year when family gathers to celebrate. A great excuse to break out the board games, play football, or participate in any one of a thousand forms of entertainment.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
How many games can you find?

Christopher’s Journal New Character
Meet ‘Wally,’ the new character in the Al Clark Series Prelude-Christopher’s Journal. He doesn’t say much, but plays a mean game of Chess.
FREE almost everywhere.
Super Doodle #1
When I don’t have it in me to write – I draw. It keeps the old brain focused. This is something I’ve been working on for about a week off and on. I call it a Super Doodle. Incorporating all the different elements into the drawing was fun, although taxing. My Sakura Micron pens allowed me to blend at least 26 unique components into the piece, with some areas that are three dimensional. To tell the truth, I’m pleased with the end result.
How many scenes, objects, and creatures can you locate?
All Terrain Crawler
It’s been a while since I posted any art, and I have felt guilty. It’s just that there is so much time spent on promotion, there doesn’t seem to be much left. Anyway, this is an oldie but a goodie. Something I did many years ago, and one of my personal favorites.
I can picture myself (and fellow adventurers) exploring new planets, happily traversing the landscape without a care in the world.
Rock Painting
My granddaughter is into rock painting, and is experimenting with paint markers. She’s a chip off the old block. These are mine. You can’t have them.
Our Tiny Blue Dot
A view from space of the only known habitable planet. One would think we would appreciate the complexities and fragility of our world. There have been cataclysmic events in the past. However, we weren’t around to affect the change.
Space Elevator
My current interest (when I’m not writing) is ink drawings, sometimes referred to as line drawings. I love the contrast.
Space elevators are only theoretical at this point in time, but in the future – who knows?
Sometimes it’s interesting to see what a black on white drawing looks like reversed. Which do you find most appealing?
An Unreported Curiosity
I have an idea worth toying with. The image included with this post is a four inch Personal Quantum Transporter . When a certain button is pressed the top opens and four spheres rise from inside. Three smaller globes revolve around the larger central sphere exactly four times, and then the device closes.
Handed down for generations from father to son it is considered a grand curiosity and treasured.
My protagonist will discover if the right symbols are held while touching one of the smaller globes, he will be transported to another world. I believe one of those destinations will lead to a seemingly perfect world without strife and hardship.
However, things are never what they seem. Are they?
Save the Elephants
The world is a complicated place. Science makes new discoveries daily, and still we know so little. Who can say that the extinction of elephants would not have an affect on us? I believe if there was no market for ivory the problem would be half solved.
