Tonight I had the absolute pleasure of watching a Lyle Lovett concert...the musicianship was incredible, the banter and dry humor beguiling!
It was a small venue and intimate, and I was int he front row!! I go my seats right away!
He played some of my favorites including, "You're not from Texas, Bears and others...
Anhoo, like a nerd I hung out in the back of our little theatre with 2 other fans and met the man himself. What a gentleman,and I got to ask him one question. "Do you remember a club called the Rubiyaat in Texas?" And he did not even hesitate, "Yes!" He went on to say that he hadn't played there but he was very familiar with it. I mentioned that the famous owner Bob Johnson was, in fact, my Dad! Anyway, we had a short conversation about it and he asked about Bob and all that. SO, it was awesome, it made my night. So, Daddy, if you are reading this, I hope it makes you happy!
I am here in my motorcycle jacket which is reflecting..sorry.

this is insane

So much for employment security...

Here is a recent work in progress, a gift for my good friend Dara. It's not finished yet, though. I am going to try to break into the exclusive , platinum only club of pet portraiture.

Bad news about my stupid job as a HS art teacher. They cut my position to .5 FTE from .6 which does not sound like like much but when you consider that is going from 2/3 of Full time to 1/2 pay wise, you see how that would be quite a salary cut, plus the same number of preps. Insane. The jury is out as to what I will do yet....but I am depressed.
