a few of my friends have spoken to me about my blog recently, and here's the thing.

The holidays have passed and the New Year is well begun.

I'm trying to prepare catalogs for this year's line of greeting cards.

The 2009 calendar designs are due early next month.

The sales reps need new samples.

My wonderful Alaskan distributor is waiting for new 8 x 10 giclees, (past due.)

I have paintings due this week at two galleries.

More than one friend is waiting patiently for work I've promised long ago.

More than one Chrismas gift is lying on my kitchen counter, undelivered.

I'm still missing Autumn.
