It's been a busy last couple of weeks. Now that my center is booked solid Monday thur Friday (one major tasks on my to do list when I was hired) there isn't much down time. My home computer also got the blue screen of death and had to go into the shop. Got my computer back but my spell check is in French. I can't fix it from home and the computer guy wants me to bring everything back in. Really, can't he just walk me through it on the phone? I'm guessing there is a language issue. Tough to get off of work in time to get it down to the shop when Borhan is there, but I'm happy to have my computer back. One of the projects I'm working on right now is setting up a community garden at the center. It's proving to be an uphill battle. I hope to team up with Full Circle Farms in Sunnyvale. There are many issues outside of our control since the property is still owned by the city. With all the budget cuts and staff layoffs, it hard to find anyone at the city who can help. Even if we raised the money to build the best senior garden in the country we may not be able to break ground.
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
