On the Watch by Shawn Ganther. www.shawnganther.com — On the Watch

This won’t be a very long diary, but felt it was the perfect time to tell you about the Veteran's Artist Program. I became aware of the program not that long ago, and that was through my daughter’s beau, Shawn Ganther, a visual artist who served in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Northern Watch.

Today, he is in NYC at the Lincoln Center along with other artists, which goes through tomorrow as well. The VAP began in 2009 and this is their statement on who they are about:

A 501c3 nonprofit, takes artists who are also veterans, and propels their works and careers into the mainstream creative arts community through networking, mentorships, collaborations with professional artists, and original productions. We are based in New York City but are currently creating programming across the country to expand the network and visibility of veteran artists.

VAP focuses on five disciplines: Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Writing/Literature, Film/Video, and New/Interactive Media. We also provide high quality, veteran-led, professional services such as event and film production, documentation through video and photography, gallery exhibitions and much more.

Info about the show is here. Veteran’s Artist Program presents, The Home Show, presenting sponsor is Wild Turkey Bourbon. It’s a very worthwhile program. Shawn Ganther will be awarded as the winner of the new label for Wild Turkey tomorrow.

Thank you for reading.

My sister and brother-in-law have voted for mainly social issues for the past decade and a half. They attend a Baptist church here in Central Wisconsin and voted for Bush twice. I know, GAG (the Bush part)!

I've seen plenty of worried Obama supporters over the past couple of weeks and I admit, I've found myself slip into a deep, dark hole of panic. Then, I see a diary or article that throws me a rope, which leads me back to hope. Well, this is one of those days.

I'm watching the local news right now and thought you'd like to know that here in Wisconsin, voters are saying that the economy is, of course, the more important issue over the war.

There have been several diaries about how Clinton's attitude from this point on will make a difference in how her supporters will embrace the candidate who was voted in to represent the Democratic Party.

Since when did dissenting opinions become a bad thing as long as it's done in a respectful manner?

I'm a widow. I was widowed at the age of 46, which has made me rather strong.

I watched my husband of 24 years die before my eyes after his very long fight with cancer, which has made me rather sensitive to other people's pain and suffering.

I'm also a mother of six, which has made me rather pragmatic. Especially since five of the six are boys. :) (just kidding)

BASKETBALL: Ten seconds left, their ball, we're down 34 points, BUT the roof could cave in and crush only their players.

FOOTBALL: Last quarter, 16 seconds left, we're down 17 points, their ball, BUT Bosnian sniper fire could erupt and kill only their players.

BASEBALL: We're down 9-2 in the bottom of the 9th inning, it's their ball, BUT if an alien spaceship came along and zapped every one of their players, maybe they'd forfeit the game.
