I just had to mention this, because I think it’s rather humorous: We’ve been living in our beautiful downtown home for 6.5 months, and we still don’t have *anything* up on our walls.  No art, no enlarged photos… Not a thing.  How sad is that, when both M and I are artists?  We really must [...]

Hey kids!  How’s things?  Things for me have been relatively calm, but not eat-bonbons-on-the-couch-while-watching-Oprah kind of relaxed, though… I’ve actually been keeping relatively busy, while using my office as a launch pad for my job hunt as well as to give a minor amount of support to the team who are also here to make [...]
