Arrived an hour early for the Sky-Fever game. Yes, I'm rooting for both. Saw my first Sky game back in 2010. Also, a Fever season ticket holder for several years. I'm happy whoever wins. Hope it is a good game. Fever bounce back from the loss to the Aces and Sky no. 12 Sidney Taylor performs. #WNBA

At the United Center for the Sky-Fever game.

At the Fever-Aces game at Gainbridge. The Aces will be hungry for a road win. Let's see if the Fever will deny them a win. #WNBA #INDvsLVA

Got to the United Center 30 minutes before the Chicago Sky-Las Vegas Aces game this afternoon. I don't know how the Sky can pull out a dub from the WNBA champions, but good luck to them. #WNBA #SKYvsLVA

Another drawing exercise. Drawing feet convincingly is hard. Blocking in the general shapes and knowledge of human anatomy is a start. But that takes lots of practice. It is preferable to draw from life. However, that may be impractical. Drawn with Blackwing 602 graphite. #drawingthefeet

Drawing exercise of Dottir from Daniel Maidman's Patreon photo reference set. Chose this pose for the raised arms that show her axillary area. A difficult thing to draw due to interplay of muscles. 45 mins, drawn with Blackwing 602 graphite on sketch pad. #figuredrawing #femalemodel #graphitedrawing

Got to hear former congressman Adam Kinzinger @adamkinzinger.substack.com at the Paramount Theater tonight. As a guest of the local Democratic party. Spoke on a variety of issues. I would correct him on one thing. I don't think all members of the kreigsmarine were in the national socialist.

When I first saw the preview for this film, I thought this was a mash up of Stephen King's "Misery" and Tom Hanks "Castaway."

Turkish American grad student Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi was killed by the IDF months ago after protesting settlement expansion on the West Bank. No word I know of yet to address her killing. So, the IDF gets away with one... again? Being a US citizen is no guarantee. Well, maybe if it had been a "somebody."

The winter solstice and the longest night of the year has begun. It's just shy of 5 PM MST in Montana, and it's pitch black outside the train. My SAD is forcing me to sleep before dinner.
