Triumph

 My first solo art shw was a smashing sucess. I priced my work so that working folks could afford it and I ended up selling a lot of work. This piece went to a good friend's home. And this show has other dealers in the area interested in giving me shows in 2024.

I'll be giving most of my money from it to non religious charities and using it to buy art supplies for the elementary school down the street from us.

I'm over the moon. 

Great job, you!

People and things doing great jobs need to be recognized so this week a big 'Great job, you!' goes out to:

• Paul Krugman for not letting that crazy Carly Fiorina get away with lying about who and what government employees are and do.
• The parents of all those beautiful Canadian women on my TV.  My hat is off to you people, you're the best at making babies ever.
• My lower intestine and bowels.  Thanks for all the good work you both do for me.  
• The casts of the following shows I'm watching or have watched on Netflix: 'Small Time Gangster,' 'Crash,' 'Todd and the book of Pure Evil,' 'Lip Service,' 'Fawlty Towers,' and 'Supernatural.'
• Snow.  You've been spectacular this year.  You fall on Thursday or Friday and you're gone in a few days.  
• The free book table at Moody's Books in Johnson City.  I've been finding a slew of great scan worthy books on you lately, well done you.
• The Libation Station.  I hate your cigar stink but your beer selection is divine.
• DSL internet.  Every day it's on and every day it reminds me how much Charter Cable's over priced internet sucked.  
• My local library.  It's got the best collection of graphic novels and cookbooks around.  And if you ask them nicely, they'll get books you request.
