Not everyone was dead

HUZZAH! Apparently not all the goldfish are dead! I could have sworn I saw one moving the other night, but didn’t want to seem patronizing, so I was quietly optimistic about the state of the fish. Turns out two are still alive and kicking. The other two… well, lets just say the neighbourhood cats have full bellies tonight. Actually, I think R just scooped them up and threw them out.
We did a little more cleanup last night and filled a bunch of those enormous Canadian Tire paper leaf bags. We also took turns pulling them over our heads and making giant paper bag puppets. My neighbours are pretty convinced that we’re both insane.
There’s still a lot more to do in the back yard, but we’re going to finish it up before anything can start growing on us. There’s some idle discussion about replacing the trellises with something in wrought iron, or repainting deck, but nothing serious yet.

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.
