Notice the Edward Roberts and Robert Durant set photo has the morse code ..._ (didididah). The letter V, for Victory.

Got a little time tomorrow, wish I could put in a few hours painting. Wife likes birds and feeding. I am more the artistic type. :)

Art. Ah. Real art. Nuclear Rockets. See my posts yesterday, see real art. Lots of stuff I would like to help build, but an interstellar Zubrin ship (Robert M. Zubrin of the Martin Marietta Corp.) is the most perfect.

Told you I was a romantic. My wife looks askance at me when I call myself a romantic, but to her romance means what us lads called "gushy stuff", the sort of things that ruined a good Western. Gabby Hayes had it right.

At work goo-goo eyes means run away fast. I am too close to retirement to loose my job.

Romance

2. A mysterious or fascinating quality or appeal, as of something adventurous, heroic, or strangely beautiful: “These fine old guns often have a romance clinging to them” (Richard Jeffries).

Morning Iris7. There's being a romantic and "there's being a romantic", you're right about it being interpreted differently by men and women.

I wish you could too. We've been "cutting" all morning and my hands ache! Taking a little break, catch up on pings and back we go.
