Back from Corpus. My eyes feel like sandpaper and my brain feels like mud. I look forward to Friday, and hope that the tropical storms stay in the Gulf where they belong. Bob Vila's Paint Designer is exactly the tool I've been wishing I could find, and yet it's evil and I wish … [Read more...] about Traveling, and Paint
