And... well... it is... and I'm another year older... whether I want to be or not.
In other news... belated HB to my sweet peeps A & J. I'd say more except I'm too sick to write and nobody would read it anyway.

Show us something by your favorite artist.
I am reluctant to declare one favorite artist, but I will at least offer one of my favorite paintings, Young Girl Reading, by one of my favorite artists, Jean-Honore Fragonard. This is the first piece of fine art that caught my eye as a little girl. There was a special offer on the back of a Life cereal box... (it must have been around '69 or '70)... and there were four prints you could choose from if you mailed in the box top plus S&H. I showed it to my mom, declaring I wanted to acquire this beautiful painting for my room. She surprised me by going to the National Gallery of Art to buy the print for me, then had my father craft a suitable frame. I don't remember if they gave it to me as a gift for a special occasion or what, but I was thrilled to receive it and treasure it as one of my prized possessions to this day. :-)
Show us something blue.
partially blue... my latest diversion
It came all the way from Shanghai... I named it Ping, after the story of the little yellow duck from the Wise Eyed boat on the Yangtze River. :-)
My first Mac - it's a whole new world. I have very limited Mac experience and I'm feeling somewhat disoriented. I took this photo with my Fisheye camera because it shows how my brain reacts whenever I sit down to work on it. Oh, and I swore (SWORE!) I would NEVER take dorky "PhotoBooth" pix with it, but darned if it's not one of the first things I did. ;-)
