If one picture is worth 1000 words, then 10 are worth 10,000, so here's my 10K word post on my ArtOMatic installation for 2009.

With any amount of luck, the pictures that aren't showing up here will in the actual post, if not, and you're curious, simply click on them and they will come up in a separate window.  Apparently this is a feature of typepad that has yet to be fixed.

And I just realized I don't have pictures of the little, new glass torsos by themselves anywhere!  Bad oversight on my part!

thought for the day:  show up early; think less, feel more, ask once, give thanks often; expect the best; appreciate everything; never give up; make it fun; lead; invent; regroup; sink; chill; smile; and live as if your success is inevitable, and it will be.  (anon)

and I'll add:  never give up, never give up, never give up
