Hilarious. And that fisherman looks so serious. He seems to be saying, "This here's the most expensive fish in the world--35k including the boat." It's like looking into a mirror. I've got to lighten up. Thanks again.

I like the bold colors. <br /><br />Like you, I keep getting reminded of age lately. I remember the Kennedy days well, such an interesting time.

His press conferences were like comedy central. I liked your description of the cold. Wasn't it wonderful how he wore no hat? You "matched" him that day, in that way. I very much admire both of your pieces. The fisherman shows your whimsical side and the tulip is more serious. Aging, decay and destruction...those are things I've been thinking about too.
