“NOT YOUR BEST EFFORT” — by Steve Nadis

We visited some friends last night, one of whom is an artist moving from realistic paintings toward abstraction. Her seven-year-old son is puzzled by the transformation in her work and recently commented on a human figure in one of her paintings that was lacking eyes, ears, and a nose. “You’re really not making your best effort,” he told his mom. And I’m sure the same could be said about this or any of a number of my posts. In fact, maybe that will be my epitaph (if I’m fortunate enough to merit one when the time comes): “Not his best effort.”

    I like that, OR. I compost too, though not as seriously as you…

    My epithet will be “F*ck You, Rummy!” As for my epitaph, that’s another story.

    thanks TB for catching that typo; I shall correctify it shortly.
