Benz, Rodeo, and BK - Thanks, I'm doing well.

JohnnyP - I dunno. I've got 6 carvings in progress here now, but I don't feel much like working on any of them right now. I've been turning away commissions and sending folks on to other carvers. The commissions I have accepted are going slow. I'm hoping that changes at work will allow me to stop selling my paintings and carvings all together and I will only need to carve or paint for myself, and only when I want to. It's tough, my art business has paid all of my fun expenses for many years. I will still have to sell enough art to pay my business expenses and write off all my carving and painting gear. Right now I am planning a trip to an island off Panama where I will spend a week spearfishing and painting my gyotaku of some interesting Pacific fishes. I can write this one off and need to get it in before the fall. I'm tired and babbling.....I need sleep....
