Welp, tried to tough it out through this "little" illness and tried to work this week. Got to Wed (my Friday) and when I got home, this little virus kicked my butt like I was Clay Aiken at a Hell's Angels rally. This is the first time I've been vertical in the last day and half.

Anyway, thought I'd do something productive besides blow my nose and going to the bathroom. Needed to jump back on the photo processing wagon so dove back into the Cirque de Flambe photos. This is the first image I've worked on since the one I posted the day my Aunt passed away. Bad part is, it feels like I just ran a mile and all I did was work on 1 image. Think I'm going back to bed now. Sheesh. I hate being sick.

Don, no wonder you're not well if you've been laid up watching that Idol trash.... OMG, that's not where we've inflicted Simon Cowell on you is it? Sorry, Sorry.... we didn't mean it, honest!! (Although it gets you back for so many tacky 80's programs...) (",) oh, btw, I see there's an image here too? You're being your usual annoying self and catching the lighting really well, I see. Gawd, I hate you at times...... grins

And finally, as I knew they would, the ducks have made their fatal mistake. Smug and overconfident, they think I am too weak to counter their moves, they show their hand. But it is a hand tipped too soon.

Do you see my friends ... do you see now? They have control of the very moderator of this glorious forum. Do you see how insidious their plan is? How evil their intent? Their beady little eyes ... their webbed feet ... their creepy waddling ... they wear their evil like a badge of honor content that nothing can stop them.

Ha! I say. Ha!! Do they think all I have is a mere grease fire with which to combat them? No, my friends ... I have the fire of good and niceness. A fire that burns hotter than the center of a sun. Burn evil burn!!! hahahaha!!! Burn!
