Huzzah!

Well, the calls have gone out, the notices are in the mail and let me just say "Congratulations!" all around. You're all totally awesome! But, you don't need me to tell you that, of course. As members in good standing of this little club of ours, you're quite aware of it; reminded of it every day in fact. We here at the Mutual Admiration Society know who you are, who we are, and give each other a quotidian slap on the back in good fellowship. You slap my back, I slap yours! That's our moto.

So, ladies and gentleman, I salute you! Job well done! You're the best!

But, you knew that.

Bad old sketch of the day


from a news or magazine photo from somewhere, I forget (Nat. Geo?) But I do recall it went south on me and I punted. I recall not liking the feel of the watercolor on this particular paper, but several years later now it doesn't look so bad. Funny how that works.

Lethal weapons...

You won't find this kind of craftsmanship at Williams-Sonoma!
