Dan Attoe, New Painting

Dan Attoe sent this new painting along of an Astronaut on a Lunar surface discovering the limits of our knowledge.




Side note: I will be away for the weekend on the last National Guard drill in my contract. 6 years. I have met a lot of great people in the guard, but I am glad to be finished. I feel like a weight is going to be lifted from my chest when I am done. I know that stress from being in the Army and being in Afghanistan has compromised my ability to enjoy life for 6 years.

I am not saying there were not some good times, there were. Or that I did not learn about the world, and human nature, I did. It was like living a little of Joseph Conrads Heart of Darkness.

I have a lot of empathy for people in the military, and contrary to what many people think there are a lot of smart, curious, interesting, and articulate people in the army. I met several lifelong friends while serving in Afghanistan. If you are out there reading this I wish you all the best.
