New Pot
Cathy and I added to our ceramic collection last month. This is our first piece by a Japanese potter. Tadashi Nishihata is from the village of Tachikui, one of the oldest pottery centers in Japan in the mountains northwest of Kyoto.
Vase #3 with Akadobe-yu finish, 14.5″ x 7″ x 7.5″
You can see more of his work at Touching Stone Gallery [www.touchingstonegallery.com], one of our favorite galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA.

Problem Solved?
Having spent a lot of time with Microsoft Technical Support, I’d have to give them a ten out of ten. The two support folks spent more than a couple hours each working through the possible solutions to this problem. That cost $35US. The outcome: the problem did not lie with my internet software. The problem was centered in my blog. What to do? I don’t tamper with the HTML code, so I didn’t start there. Instead, I deleted the comments on my most recent entries thinking, possibly, the problem was inadvertantly introduced there. Problem solved! I have no idea what this means. If anybody has an idea, please let me know.
The people whose recent comments I deleted were Maurice, Tbolt and Edna. I should have checked after deleting each entry, but I didn’t.

Technical Problems
On August 6th I had a technical problem. I spent the better part of that day trying to resolve the problem with Quest, my phone company, MSN, Blog.com, the host, and Microsoft without success. I was out of town for a week. I had a cold when I got back. Only today did I feel like kicking the problem around again. It is not solved. The problem? When I attempt to view my blog, I get an MSN error message, and I lose my connection. When I tried viewing my blog from another computer with Internet Explorer software, the same message came up, and I lost my connection. The error message occurrs only when I attempt to view my own blog. Since no one has a solution that works, I may have to abandon this blog.

A Note for Tbolt
Tbolt, at the risk of overstepping a boundry, I lifted this piece from your Doodle. There are scores of paintings or constructions in the Doodle image. This is just one tiny piece. If you’re cutting and pasting other doodles, you may have a whole treasure chest of powerful stuff.

Something a little zappier, higher chroma colors.

Tulip Mania
I just got back from Johnsons of Madrid, Madrid, New Mexico, where I hung yet another exhibition of paintings and drawings. What are my expectations? I haven’t any.
