		<description>Hi Lindsay,

I'm so sorry!  I've been a bad boy.  Been in jail for indecent.....just kidding!  Juuuuuust kidding!  Not to worry....noooooot to worreeee!

I've just been tied up with family matters and business matters.  It doesn't happen too often fortunately.  When it does though, I become unable to mentally get into the "sketch zone".  I have to force it in some way to get back to sketchin'.

So, I took a "mental break" this weekend and I'm now back in the groove.  Rode the bike for about 300+ miles in the mountains.   My dear wife sat patiently right behind me as we negotiated the "twistys" without so much as a nervous peep.

Once she got used to not clunking me in the head with her helmet at each gear change, all went well.

Come to think of it, could be the helmet clunking cleared my mind as much as the twistys did.  I'll have to experiment with that in the future.....

Sometimes life gets in the way...I HATE it when that happens.  But now i'm back.

Thanks for keeping up!!</description>

		<description>Hi Karen,
Thanks for the comments.

We've been really pleased with the usage of the bird house.  It's really interesting to watch the adults tending to the nest.
I only wish I had been able to see the little ones light out on their own.

I've been tinkering with the site so much this week I've had little time for drawing :-(

I'll be back in posting mode next week.

I like using the Montval paper. Glad I asked about it.  I'm still experimenting with it and some other papers.</description>

		<description>Don: I love the drawing. I love chickadees, too, though I know I won't make the house. But I loved your simple, clear color here.</description>
