London with the Leader

Had to visit London, to check up on my parents’ place. It’s been a couple of weeks, and the fish needed feeding, the snow needed clearing, etc. However, I failed to take into account the snowfall last night. I had to clear the porch and walkway of snow. Then I had to go back inside and put on a heavier coat, then clear the sidewalk, the driveway, and part of the street behind my car. The snowplow had already been through, and there was at least a metre of snow at the base of the driveway. Here I am with this wee little scooping shovel. About an hour later, I was finished everything, and boy I was hyped. I wanted to clear everyone’s driveway at that point. But apathy got the better of me and I just got into the car and headed for London.
It’s the Leader’s birthday today! HUZZAH! I gave him a call and we went to the Waltzing Weasel for beers and snacks. I tried the baked Brie (don’t get it) which came in a skillet, drowning in raspberry or cranberry sauce. It was served with tortillas, although I have no idea how to eat Brie in a tortilla, especially when it’s swimming in a fruit soup. Anyway, it was fun to see the Leader again. Hope he has another 26 birthdays. And then another 26 after that. But that’s all.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
