Jim,

Not to pat myself on the back but I managed to survive the rough and tumble world of railway marketing with a high school education.

Ended up mentoring university and MBA grads at the tail end of my career why? Simple I was like a sponge and absorbed what I learned from the school of hard knocks and what made sense using the univerity grads logic.

None of us have all the answers we're always on a learning curve.

Here's a sketch I made today.

Dang Rusty.

That is seriously fine work. Far beyond ordinary. And light years ahead of my attempts years ago , including painting in high school...
Context. Symbolism. History. Reality....

Well done.

Roger! Sorry to hear that about your wife. I’m glad she’s having more good days now. Man! You have been missed!

With the cold snap in FL it must have been raining frozen iguanas!

LOL I would like to see that in person. Our news covered it one year.

How was your thanksgiving, Msbeep?

We just had ours on Sunday ( my excuse for disappearing) . It was pretty good. My son and his gf and the 3 little grandkids ate with us. Then my daughter and the 2 older grandkids came for an outside visit. No major drama, just wild kids. Good day.

So now we know. Well, congratulations to him. He has a good little nest egg and hopefully he will be wise and diversify. I wonder how many new friends he will get?


I am cheering for you! I hope you find that treasure hoard!
