Enjoy your sister-in-law!

And how!

Billie, I thought about you last night. I ambled about a local art fair and there was a pencil sketch artist whose talent reminded me of your flair. I really like your sketch renderings.

It was a typical local presentation ... 25% is moving and worth owning, 25% is intriguing but not my style, 25% is incomprehensible and a problem best left unsolved and 25% is pretentious crap.

I like that last quadrant. Those guys ... it's always guys .... smell me for a mile and get snippy, surly or mute. "You look like a window shopper" ... "You should present windows for a living".

I love it when some artiste gives me a Soho sneer and says ... "It's surreal." I go "Yeah, I see the price tag. That's more of a comedy actually."

I like asking pompous auters featuring oil paintings "Did you draw this picture?" LOL

That is the best time to wander around with a sweetie woman, she's drawn by the exact inverse art stimuli as I am. "Look at this!" I'm peering in the bar window to check on the Devils-Ducks score. But, as always, the more skilled the artist, the nicer they are. There are some really talented jewlers and sculpters up here. Many native American. Beautiful necklaces and bracelets.

I like the etchings and ink sketches myself. Billie riffic!
