- Call me, Daddy. -- Playing with the hopes and dreams of a daughter, now gentle, now hard, rebuking and rewarding, chastising and forgiving. The pleasures of a father. Of a father of daughters. What greater power is there than that? Why should a man want more? Why should I yearn to be everybody's daddy?
- She trusts me absolutely. I trust she does. And I, I trust her absolutely - to be absolutely human.

read Color Theory by Jose M. Parramon (1989)
- RGB -- primary colors, additive synthesis; CMYK -- secondary light colors, subtractive synthesis
- Local color: color of the object itself; tonal color: color variations resulting from light and shadow; reflective color -- reflected by other objects, environment
- Color brighter and contrast greater in foreground v. background (condition of atmosphere)
- Adding white to a color turns it gray
- Never make a color lighter or darker by using white or black; use other colors, complimentary colors to darken, create contrast (e.g. yellow and violet)
- Shadows are blue, contain darker tones of the object's color, and complimentary colors (e.g. red apple: blue, dark red, green shadow
- Melodic range = monochromatic; harmonic range = complimentary
- Color contrast comes from juxtaposing complimentary colors (fauvists)
- A color throws it's compliment onto neighboring colors (e.g. lemon makes gray background seem blue)
listened to Nightmare in Pink (Travis McGee Mysteries) by John D. Macdonald, read by Michael Prichard (2001)
