"nice.ladies.heart.eight"

Hard eight is a suckers bet at the craps table, unless you have ESP. IOU ESP ASAP.


"man.grovels"

Draft, dodger.

Lisa, again. Birds, again. Irene's web waves....I am not loosening up.

Kris, provided last minute inspiration - follow her link to upbeat video clip - cool open friendly interview of a painter painting - a fork in a Golden road.

Fiber. Those little baby carrot sticks...I cannot beleive they grow like that. By product of V-8? My friend had worked at V-8 factory and swore he would never drink it. We free associate here.

Back on topic and for Lisa- mangroves create paradise - they maintain paradise, natural policemen to hold back waves and and big fish - to keep fish fry, unfried.

Where there are birds, there is food and where there is food there is balance. Not talking about Winn Dixie or Safeway. Safeway does sell plastic forks. So, artists - la la la la, peace.

I see the wind blowing heart-ily through town tossing about the freshly laundered bedsheets hanging by clothespins on a line.

Egrets patiently waiting for their gerbil delight.

Lovely execution! of mice and of man.

Oh man, John, I love these, especially "nice.ladies.heart.eight"

This definitely has to go on your portfolio website. Yes, I took a peek there yesterday. It all looks splendid.

Consider yourself blessed with lots of talent. Time to get really serious, I think, or are you already?

Although you bemoan the absence of male commentators, I have to tell you that on behalf of the ladies who lunch here, YOU have infused our blogs with much quirkiness and humor, despite your penchant for the little freaky creatures. You're loads of fun.**Souris** (that's French...but you knew that).

Thanks John.
