Tornado Golf

Was thinking of hitting the driving range yesterday after work, but the weather started getting rough. I drove along Northfield Drive towards King St. and saw dark, heavy clouds overtop of lighter sky. The clouds were ominous and misshapen, looking like proto-tornado funnels. Since that was where I had to go, I decided to head home instead.

CBC news came on with some tornado warnings from Windsor to Toronto. “With funnel clouds touching down just north of Kitchener,” they said. That convinced me. I was not about to drive around in a Tornado, much less stand in an open field, hitting golf balls around.

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.
