During a five hour getaway to Carol Sumkin and Andy Golub piece of heaven upstate, we played ping pong, zoomed in a few interested parties and architect/engineer/artist types-my design team and had several serious meetings where we honed an appropriate solution to do to two nonprofits sharing and working together.
Andy was great. He gave me the keys to his house. He ripped up his marriage license to CAROL. I even get one of the children, my choice. Wow I would’ve let him choose,he doesn’t negotiate well.
In the end, it was CAROL that came to the rescue. We figured out what to do. It was simple and yes, it involved using a special power.
We ohmed Andy, we ohmed him up, thrn tickled and well thrn, repeat.
We laughed and smiled, so hard Daisy almost started to cry- not the flowers, they were smoked, shares a name with Kathy Scheibner Seckler and my dog Daisy.
It’s funny from now on whenever I say goodbye to Andy. He jumps up from the couch and gives me a hug.
I’m amazed at how quickly he springs up from a relaxed position.
I guess it was good. The one time he didn’t get up and I asked him to, and I told him what I do if he didn’t get up.
I told him I would lie down and hug him in the lie down position. He smiled and said no, but did not get up quick enough some people move too slow and I can be impatient.
so I was tired anyway, and my back is not so good and whenever I lie down, it feels very very good even if there’s a bumpy, round body of Golub , not Caroled by a sweet song underneath.
It really wasn’t that comfy but an odd way was so funny and bumpy and our bodies rumbled and laughter and of course Carole is right there cracking up. Needless to say this is going to be the format for all meetings going forward when decisions are made about art centers including naming the crntrr, curatorial decision-making, dates for events number of people to invite and of course who to give the wrong address to so they go to the wrong place and they don’t really come but we know and they know theyve been invited and it was just a typo. Just one little mistake on the ZIP Code and they are not coming.
In the middle of our meeting, I took a a break and set up my oils right in the middle of God‘s country. Not too far to the left not too far to the right not too hot not too cold, just right.
Thank you, Andy and Carole. No you’re not getting the painting for free. Stop stealing my pants when I leave them there.

Oh, and yes, BOB of Strong arm zoomed in from Colorado last minute to join.
after the meeting and a few emails within 24 hours, Bob said he’s in his art center will be more ashram, focused or spiritual. Yes we will be all omen and tickling everyone to life and death and back again and do it again and again and again and again, just like painting again again again just like more more more but not Henry and not the excess of consumption more and more light more and more love more and more colors more beautiful, panics more friends more silliness more willingness to smile.
hug your friends, hug your friends dog, have the dog take you out for the walk, hug your friend wife tightly, before get the deed on the house and the marriage license, torn and then there’s only one thing left , thenJust make sure you like his wife.
And dog.

The “Kostrinsky Sunkin Art center Ande’s mountsin Barry did this” cener is launching.
Great name yes and that’s why it was four hours up in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do bunch of animals, making noise trees, whistling with wind through leaves lost ladders never climbed rugs and shined no more of that place for me not four or five hours maybe just a photo to make you sick how people live is terrible the rolling, dizzy, spelling, green, floating land and skating, water, ponded.
Get me back to the city I need a termite mound of steel.
