Yes, I watch american and russian news, and I think that both countries are doing the best they can to keep this under control, without too much of an escalation. Russia has to retaliate, because it is being challenged, but it is acting with a lot of restraint. The problem is that president that took power in a coup. he does not even have broad support at home.
Very interesting! Cheers, Bob

You annoyed me to the point that I missed Presidents Putin's Birthday. You make an excellent distraction, and I'm embarrassed that I fell in line with it.... I told you my age months ago; what's your acceptable excuse? Natalie

I'm on my 3rd painting, and I feel the desire to put my paintbrush down forever. The thing the upsets some people the most about the print(s) of my painting(s) is that...I painted it. I feel their pressing eyes, "Where is it?" They visually pinpint my flaws--but deny my talents.
People eye it hungrily and quiz me...quiz me on my own artwork? "Well, it wasn't intended for you," I want to say, impolitely. I feel and see their intimidation; "I'm trying to connect with you and you blink your eyes in disbelief..." I want to send it to russia..." Would it "disappear?" Would somebody with more money and power take it or does somebody not want me to fulfill my desire/wish? Is it that mentality--If I can't achieve it--destroy/impede what someone else wants to achieve...? I'm somewhere inbetween pushing forward & retreating inside-a standstill-an economic, political, emotional warfield...of wanting to disappear from you forever. It isn't romantic that 150 years from now somebody may read the internet "transcripts" & try to connect with me...in my absence. Am I a fatalist or a realist...I'm actually, a surrealist.

Hello! I went on my first hour instructional flight this weekend! We flew over a neighboring city and my alma matter....I made a special request to sight the local copshop--so I could tell my "buddy" next time I saw him. I like the heavier aircraft better, it flies more smoothly. The lighter "sports car" version is, what feels, quite erratic! Natalie

Don't quit painting Nat!!!! Mozart is considered to be genius by music lovers. But in his day, there were many who didn't appreciate, or even understand the greatness of his work. I love this quote from Albert Einstein:
"Great spirits have ALWAYS encountered violent opposition from MEDIOCRE MINDS!" Keep on keepin' on! Don't paint for the masses. They'll never understand.
