To the young man bagging my groceries:
Do not try to convince the bald woman in the scarf that she had a "super fantastic" day. You came *this* close to being beaned with a 12-pack of fizzy water.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

So last night with my neighbors, my stomach was dodgy so I stuck to g-ale, later adding just a touch of bourbon. I wasn't paying attention, they were apparently killing 3 bottles of red.
I just had to give a recap. Pretty funny, except for A, who spent the day on a sailboat on some team building thing, and B, packing up their display rooms...oof.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Plei, thank you, I hadn't thought of that. The only thing I had come up with was a clear cover like a cake dome.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Want to see when you get it done, dcp! Is it leathery-maroon on one side and sort of turquoise blue on the other? In the picture the dragon's throat is kind of blue, though I guess that could be the light.

Leathery-maroon on top, yes. The underside is more a dark gray with a tinge of green. I need to find a better setting, with better lighting, to photograph it properly.

That is totally wonderful. You should be able to get shadowbox materials at any Michaels or AC Moore.

Dcp, it's awesome. You could also use a box like you would for a signed baseball.
