The answer is: Make good art.
It doesn't matter what the question is or the situation. One ready-made answer is "Make good art."
Chicago skyline
I'm in Chicago tonight, preparing to take a deposition tomorrow. It was a beautiful evening to view the downtown skyline.

The Bechdel test for movies
The Bechdel Test is a simple test which names the following three criteria for rating movies: (1) it has to have at least two women in it, who (2) who talk to each other, about (3) something besides a man. [Update 4/28/13]: More on the Bechdel test from the Double Parent, focusing on princesses who need to be rescued by a prince, many of these movies by Disney. And . . . the story of Wonderwoman. You can view the entire one-hour video at PBS.
Delightful unplayable music
Those of you who read music might enjoy John Stump's score titled "Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz (from "A tribute to Zdenko G. Fibich"). I ran across this and enjoyed its repeated moments of musical absurdity.
I searched for some background for the piece and found this:
The composition Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz (from "A Tribute to Zdenko G. Fibich") by John Stump is an unpublished satirical work written and copyrighted in 1980 that is best known for, simultaneously, its humor and unplayability. The piece is most often seen hanging on the walls in music rooms and orchestral settings for the musicians' amusement, due to musical directions such as "Rigatoni", "light explosives now... and... now", "insert peanuts", "Moon-walk", "release the penguins", and "Like a Dirigible".
Monochrome snow
We had a big snowfall in St. Louis today. In the middle of it, I visited the Missouri Botanical Gardens to capture a series of color photos that certainly don't look like color photos. Except check out the final photo, in which a blue heron is notable.
