Yeah.......I am just standing around waiting for a phone to ring.........any phone.........and I answer it and the person on the other end of the line says "You have just won a million dollars!".

Hmmmm.

I have a better chance of getting hit by a rickshaw in the meat section of the grocery store.

Oh well.........life marches on.....ugh.....or should I say "forward".

Needless to say, I have been very busy and probably worn myself down to being overly vulnerable to an assortment of chaos of differing varieties........one of which is, I suppose, the flu or something similar. So for the past week I have been rather miserable.

Another issue has been my little buddy Chico, the family dog. He has not been well at all and I have never seen him like this before. So far it seems like he is recuperating well but he isn't completely normal.......yet. The details are painful for me to write about so let's just leave it at that.

Hmmmmm.....maybe Chico has what I have now. As I think about it, the other day I was holding Chico in my arms and he was distressed and I petted his head and told him "Just give me whatever you have and let me deal with it"........hmmmm.......maybe he did just that.

Through it all, I still have managed to crank out some more painted crab shells. Some new ones and more of the popular ones.

That's it for now.............Happy New Year!
