Don't you hate it when you considerable effort into something and it gets ignored? Don't you hate it when you ask for One. Little. Thing. and nothing happens? Don't you hate it when you struggle for hours to write one paragraph and it refuses to come together for you?
No? Oh. Maybe it's just me, then. Me, feeling mighty frustrated.
In other news: I took some stuff into the frame shop today. Even with a hefty discount it set me back a shocking amount. It will be nice to have these things framed, though.
Also: anyone who speaks lightly of walking 4 long blocks down the midway has no understanding of what it's like when the wind starts to blow, and ice is hurtling into your face, and shelter is increasingly distant.
We had one of Mom & Dad's bark paintings (of a wedding scene) framed and I agree with you on the sticker shock. Looks great though.

A classmate is from Fargo, ND and she said walking across the midway in winter is the coldest place on earth. And I think she'd know.

Exactly, LL! Colder than [anything you please]. The town hall meeting yesterday was absurd, but that point was ridiculous.

Agree on the effort that doesn't get acknowledged. I spent 16+ hours working on a piece for the web page for legal aid foundation I volunteer with. From the boss??...Not a word - even a "go to hell" would have been better than nothing. Warms the heart...
