We hold these truths to be self-evident …

Well this is just crazy! I’m spending as much time un-packing from our vacation as I spent actually vacationing!!

It’s so odd how time for art can just slip away if you let it. The world keeps intruding into my art time like a pushy salesperson who doesn’t know how to shut up. It’s like the rest of the world doesn’t realize how important art time is!

It’s time to put my foot down and reclaim some art time for myself! Again. (This has happened a time or two before.)

I declare my art corner a free nation! I’m putting up a fence!! Everyone must pay a toll to get in!!! Intruders will be deported, and all their belongings confiscated!!!! (All collected money will go into my treasury to finance further art exploration.)

I’m goin’ in! I’ll try to get a message out tomorrow if my communication lines aren’t cut off!!
