I visited my daughter's school last night to meet her new teacher and some of the new parents who I didn't speak to because I wasn't interested... in any event, I found myself describing Zooey to the teacher as a tempestuous flower of beauty, grace and unpredictable malevolence. Well, actually, no, I didn't say that. Instead I bumbled on about her ways and wondered why everyone felt compelled to wear sandals -- I understand the need for toes to freely frolic but feet are not attractive. Unless you're in the privacy of your own home or in a nude-feet designated zone, your peds need to be covered.

No promises but I like the beginnings of this drawing and maybe I can expand it into something more finished. Who knows, maybe I can even paint it on a skateboard deck? Yeah.
