I have this friend that we shall call Harry. There are some things that bother him. He does not like clowns. He really doesn't like dolls when their eyes open and shut. Friday was a difficult day for him. I do an eBay drop-off "business" and have a location in a town I used to live in inside a doll shop (the location, not the town). While we were there putting some art on the walls he had the displeasure of seeing a doll that would breath. You squeeze the doll and its chest moves in and out. He was not comfortable. While I was there I saw a Paddington Bear that they have had for a long time. I almost bought it over the summer at a sidewalk sale but didn't. I made them an offer they couldn't refuse and I now own a life-size Paddington.
I have been busy doing accounting for my business mostly due to the art I am selling. Nothing comes free......some things just come easier than others. I haven't gotten much new art up lately but I have done almost an entire year of accounting which is no small feat. Balancing the different accounts is a full-time job in itself. There is more yard work than I know what to do with. We are getting a new dishwasher on Tuesday and I still don't have my Lotus.
I may have to go to Chicago in December for art again after the first trip in October. Chicago is a wonderful town. Everytime that I approach the city (especially at night) something comes over me and I feel like I need to move there ASAP. I probably will eventually but it hasn't happened yet.
More thoughts as they appear.
