Death struck a little closer to me today. I was looking into why I haven’t received my security deposit from my last lease, when I was told that my former landlord died last week. Don’t know why, but it took me completely off guard. He had been sick, but it is still a shock. He was just a landlord so I wasn’t very close to him, but he always seemed nice.

Spent some time at Mary Tangora’s gallery tonight. I don’t know what it is about art, but I love it. Mary and I were talking about some of the pieces that she had up. I don’t know what it is that makes great art, but I think that there is something in us that appreciates it. We both were able to pick out the same piece that we enjoyed most. I don’t know why we both chose the same piece, but I found it interesting. I don’t have much training in what makes good art, but I know what I like. I guess that we are born with it. Art is important. Remember that. Make art.
