“If you had to choose between colors and diameters, which would you choose?” My friend Jon posed this question in response to my last post, written with the purpose of soliciting some ideas and thoughts to stir the brain a bit.
Jon’s question–definitely apples and oranges…at first blush.
“Of course, I’d choose colors,” was my first thought. [...]

If you check in here very often, you know I haven’t been posting very regularly. You also know that we’re in the job-hunt mode in our family. I think that has diverted some of my creative and observational juices to a different kind of focus.
