Today (what is left of it) is my father’s birthday. Happy birthday, Dad. :-) I don’t have much to say. Please pray for my best friend, Beth, who lives in Houston. She called me tonight to say that they were on their way to Dallas (where her husband’s family lives) to escape the possible/probable destruction of Hurricane Rita. My heart goes out to all the people who are in the path of this storm. If you had to evacuate quickly,…

I stopped and glanced at a price tag and saw the product code – D212 – and was like “Wow I’ve done a poster for that dining room set!” (For some reason, I remembered that particular code, don’t ask me why.) I’ve gotten used to hearing my name everywhere, and I don’t even notice the fact that…
