In real life, the day - and this painting - have a grayness that, at least on my screen, is not coming through, try as I might.

I'm really enjoying these rainy-day paintings, especially as, soon enough, I know I'll be making snowy-day paintings.

The internet is slow today. What a statement that is! It's like saying the microwave is slow today. I just can't wait the 45 seconds it's taking to heat up my coffee! I just can't wait the 90 seconds it's taking to find out who invented the electric clothes dryer.

What a world we live in, eh? It's rare for me to pause long enough to consider how close we are to the Jetsons. No, we don't have flying cars yet, and I wish we did - but the rest of it, wow. Yesterday, I saw a commercial for a front-door lock that you can work by using your phone - your phone that is now a TV, a record player and a computer.

David Dann, a talented designer at the Times Herald-Record, once told me that he believes that one day, no one will have computers - we'll have devices like flash drives that we carry in a pocket and plug into outlets that will be everywhere.

David designed the dove hologram that graced Visa cards for many years, so perhaps he knows.
