lede = introductory section in journalism

bury the lede = hiding the most relevant pieces of a story within other distracting information

Allegedly, it’s spelled ‘lede’ to avoid confusion with ‘lead,’ which was the strip of metal that would separate lines of type.

I’m not a baseball fan, but I’ve lived in Massachusetts long enough that I feel this in my bones. 😄

Black cats are truly magical because when they lie in direct sunlight they turn brown.

#Drawtober day 7: “The Key.”
The portal lies under the fields.
The key opens the portal.

A grey-clad figure holding a staff and a hovering diamond stands beside a portal that has risen from a wiggly-looking field. There is a matching diamond shape in the portal.

#Drawtober day 6: “Two of Wands.”
I was stuck on what to draw for today so I drew tarot cards until something struck me. I planned to make this one more wizardly but staying faithful to the original seemed to work fine.

My version of the two of wands card from the tarot. A mystic figure stands atop a castle wall looking out over a countryside. He is holding a staff atop the wall and a crystal ball. The other staff is secured to the castle wall beside him.

#Drawtober day 4: “Impression of the Pied Piper.”
I got around to this late in the day and I was really tired, so I experimented with making the impression of a picture with as few lines as possible.
