| was planning on writing some high-minded sentiments
as to my hopes for this newsletter and the guild. Just
pretend you've finished reading a couple of grandiose
sentences on my editorial intent. Bottom line, | hope to
be entertaining, informative and help foster a sense of
connection amongst us people of the mud (appropriately
typoed mug just then). | do remember my two years on
the prairies and how much | enjoyed getting the
newsletter, And soooo much cheaper than a trip to
Mexico in February...

When | volunteered to do this | had a rather optimistic
idea as to the hours put in. Not unlike the studio
experience, | find. Sorry about the rather chaotic format
of the Newsletter, As many of you can tell, | got seduced
by the lure of the computer program. And it's too late to
change it for this issue. Next time I'll do better, really.

And in that vein, December's theme is “Problems &
Solutions’, Technical? Conceptual? How do you
manage a full-time job and try and make work? What
about children? Health? Rejection? Acceptance?
