I was recently telling a supervisor friend about an unpleasant incident. I don't talk often about unpleasant incidents, for reasons outlined elsewhere, but they happen.

What was most appalling wasn't the actions of the customer, but the lack of response on the part of Metro and King County Sheriffs, which I have to admit was as much my fault as theirs.

Thanks to you and everyone else who understands I need to devote time to other artistic endeavors as well, let alone life! This blog is such a joy to work on, but it requires an enormous amount of time.
