Billie for the wonderful gowns you designed for our New Year's Ball
I'll be back and dressed for a dance with Diver this evening!
Happy last day of 2008 everyone!

Good morning! Thank you, Meg. I don’t know how you manage to post such pretty graphics every day in your comments. I always have great plans to answer my pings with beautifully planned graphics when I do the openings (as you do every Sunday!), but just never seem to get those worked up.

When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted

When Earth's last picture is painted And the tubes are twisted and dried When the oldest colors have faded And the youngest critic has died We shall rest, and faith, we shall need it Lie down for an aeon or two 'Till the Master of all good workmen Shall put us to work anew And those that were good shall be happy They'll sit in a golden chair They'll splash at a ten league canvas With brushes of comet's hair They'll find real saints to draw from Magdalene, Peter, and Paul They'll work for an age at a sitting And never be tired at all. And only the Master shall praise us. And only the Master shall blame. And no one will work for the money. No one will work for the fame. But each for the joy of the working, And each, in his separate star, Will draw the thing as he sees it. For the God of things as they are! Rudyard Kipling
