more tooting of a tiny little horn behind the tiny violin section

Just as I opened my e-mails yesterday to find that my painting is featured on the Flying Dog website, the snail mail hit the floor with my author's copies of Smile, Hon, You're in Baltimore #10. I feel honored to be included in this amusing and highly recommended series of zines, and I may even participate in the readings in November. It would be far more gratifying, however, if all this creativity could pay the electric bills.
