OK.  Here goes.

I just went back to work teaching after a half-year leave (a present  
to me from me for my 50th).  I spent the time doing a lot of painting  
and trying to work on my "second career".  At the end of the summer, I  
joined a group of artists who began a coop gallery last fall.  I'm  
quite excited about the project, as the gang are very dynamic and full  
of ideas for getting customers in.  I pay a monthly fee of $130, but  
there is no commission to pay on sales.  I have to work one day in  
twelve, which works well into my schedule - I do my time on weekends,  
and in any case my spouse usually works on weekends, and I can paint  
while I'm at the gallery.  I broke the ice my first week there by  
making a sale, and it sure was nice to have the whole amount in my  
pockets !  Now if only I can make a couple more to cover my expenses  
for the coming year !

So that's what I'm up to !

Keep writing (and reading),
