Yesterday evening, the Pediatric Surgery Fellow Graduation Roast. We arrived stylishly late, though in time for dinner, and stayed through the end. Departed about 23:15 plus or minus a bit. Good food (leftovers for dinner this evening, or maybe, see today's events below) and a lot of fun in the Roasts on all sides. Not all Roasts, of course. Lots ( Read more... )

I aim to misbehave here. Besides that being a touch to one of my favourite science fiction shows, it's also the case and I even fore-warned a couple people that I would be doing so. There will be a bit of talk about what the Artist is doing, because it's supposed to be my art blog and all. However, and because artists (at least this Artist) don't ( Read more... )

Above and beyond the free thing, actually. I mean, I've mentioned it before, and the free thing, and my somewhat dis-satisfaction with Adobe and whole Photoshop thing. My marvelous, wonderful, familiar old copy of Seven ceasing to function. Contemplating purchasing an upgrade. Actually purchasing same, yet not getting around to installation for a ( Read more... )

Elements of the U.S. Marines advanced to drive elements of the German army out of a well-entrenched position in the wood of the name, and moved along to (eventually) one of the many nick-names by which Uncle Sam's Misguided Children are also known. Purportedly this nick-name was bestowed ( Read more... )

ThursdayThe day after the new tractor arrived, a couple things happened. More than a couple, however not many more, and one of the things affected a Change of Plans as far as things to do and get done is concerned ( Read more... )

We are now the owners of a John Deere 2210 Estate Tractor. The last two words are Herself's description. I like them, however, as it is accurate in my mind. Much heftier than the El Toro Yard Tractor Mower, not so hefty at all as Harrison Ford 8N Tractor, who still abides in a tractor coma, basic life support continuing until we can resuscitate him ( Read more... )

Up bright (no, not actually) dark and early yesterday, loaded truck and on the road by 06:30, and about an hour to get to Windsor. Wee bit of grumpiness early, it passed. Probably shouldn't even have grumped then, oh well. Long day, and as far as Studio 318 is concerned no sales. However, the Ranch half of the booth did exceeding well with sales of ( Read more... )

At least until late afternoon, when the sky began to clear and sunlight came through.

MemoriesMy new printed cheques (the corrected versions) for the Studio account arrived on Friday. This morning I started going through an old wallet, examining it to determine the remaining serviceability in the old leather and cloth. I knew I'd used it some time ( Read more... )
