There are lots of things in the world to be thankful for — family, friends, food on the table, birds outside the window.\u00c2\u00a0 Here are a few special things to be thankful for this week:<\/p>\n
FFAC raised a nice chunk of money for cancer research – $6716 to be precise, because of generous art donors and collectors.\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks to Scott who bought my little piece and to everyone who participated and a special shout out to Virginia – she gets my tireless instigator of the year award.<\/p>\n
I don’t think of myself as making art. I do what I do because I want to, because painting is the best way I’ve found to get along with myself. –Robert Rauschenberg<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Oh yeah, that’s a keeper.<\/p>\n
And a special thanks to the little elf who snow-blowed my driveway after I gave up last night.\u00c2\u00a0 I’d done about half of the plowed in end and was just too cold and winded to do more.\u00c2\u00a0 Not sure how I didn’t hear the snowblower, but I guess elven magic prevailed there.\u00c2\u00a0 I went out, was surprised and thankful and cleared off the 15 plus inches off my car, filled the bird feeders (now the birds are thankful too) and am back inside with only mildly nipped fingers.<\/p>\n
All good.<\/p>\n
Work and food on the table — excellent. \u00c2\u00a0 Dust bunnies — who cares?\u00c2\u00a0 Week vacation spent traveling around in Azeroth and Outland — priceless. Hurling arcane power at the forces of evil — truly something worth savoring.\u00c2\u00a0 If only it were that easy in the real world!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
