There are some other really talented folks in there as well like Hawaii’s Elyse Butler, who I’m happy to share some pages with. If you go looking, I’ve got the last essay in the issue.Picture 2

I’m so out of place at places like these so it’s fantastic that I have work I must do when there. Hoffman_20091021_246-2

And if there is just a hint of a different light, you can play with that too.

I arrived at the venue for the night right as my Bears blocked a Green Bay field goal attempt to win the game. Happiness followed with the overtime victory. I also saw Elvis, and though he unfortunately reminds me of my current ‘governor’ he always helps with pictures.

The night is cover, with hints of life but nothing clearly defined. In some abstract fashion I’ve discovered I’m working on an essay that deals with this. Now recognized, I might as well continue. This frame is about three weeks old.
