New Chopsticks

Chinese food in our neighbors' restaurant to start the new year. (He cooks behind clear plastic blinds that limit movement of hot air and sound.) Free hot tea in a jug on the left, with a cooler of drinks on the counter above and behind it. On the right, a large bamboo plant in a vase of water; above, a television and a poster of fish, swimming.

God bless Plain City Computers & Cellular

Michael Nobbs, Welsh artist

Here Danny Gregory interviews Michael Nobbs, an artist and author from Wales.  Mr. Nobbs has written several books (Drawing Your Life), developed a podcast series (One Thing Today), and grown an online creative community (Sustainably Creative), working within the health challenges posed by living with ME (or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).  His coping strategies are useful for anyone who wants to create within the confines of limited time.
