This week’s podcast was solid. Someone even commented that it was “coolness in a sea of banality”.
Hear about Ron’s gout, Emma’s birthday, and Edgeworth’s (@jompiy) upcoming debut at Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park.
Here are some recent paintings with a sad theme. I’m way ahead of my 20,000 painting weekly objective, and will be adding more vacation days to my calendar.

Great podcast.
I have been suffering with the Gout for the past 10 years now … but managing pain with Allopurinol (300 mg per day) and flare ups with Colchicine ….. but no more beer, steak or Seafood … unless I want a few days of pain … I am going to see my doctor about increasing the Allopurinol to eliminate the pain in my knuckles. My big toe is ok these days.
Geeze that is no fun. Giving up the beer depresses me, but it will have to do. You experience any drug side effects? I’ll look it up.
No side effects that I know of.
Maybe the urge to nap once a day ?
