Oh my!! is that a gun in your possesion. HmmK!!! I am at least in Canada and far away. No really, just kidding. I am sooo impressed with this amazing piece. I want the story that goes with it. Leslie Rowe-Israelson
Great minds think alike Cynth, I thought it was a violin=8^D REAL men don't need no stinkin' glasses, they drink straight from the bottle. Execllent use of line to convy emotion. It's hard to know when to stop adding visual information and let the veiwer's imagination fill in the rest of the story... You nailed it Don.

I don't care who you are, Don wins! Stan
My comment should read "I don't care who you are, now that's funny!" You still win Don. Stan. Everybody else...you're all winners too
Great piece! I don't know you, Don, but now I will imagine you sitting atop your camper.
Your piece made me chuckle the moment I saw it.
