Welcome to Tempest-tossed Stardust
Greetings.
You are receiving this because you are a subscriber to my blog — Tempest-tossed in New York City.
(The service that delivered those blog updates is being discontinued so I’ve transferred my subscription list to Buttondown.)
And so begins this newsletter. . . Tempest-tossed Stardust.
This format will allow me to create a more personal approach to communicate — to share my Art and Stories — all within the context of that other thing called Life.
This will come across your desktop only once a week — I'm aiming for Saturday mornings — and provide a veritable buffet of delights for the eye and mind.
First introductory email — keeping it simple.
Life.
I got vaccinated for COVID months ago. I made it. I had serious doubts about it all last spring when the air was filled with sirens day and night.
Meanwhile another virus: gastroenteritis - snuck up and quite frightfully wiped out this senior citizen for four days last week. Scary. I am still recovering.
Art & Stories
One new short story that grew out of a recent piece of visual art — and now the two are inseparable.
