(A cover for a spring poster, made eons ago. Not my best work, I think, but it felt appropriate for the season...) I wanted to say I'm still on a "work-leave," as well as dealing with some family matters, so I'm not back yet---ie, I'm not commenting yet. I'll be posting dedis though: I decided to do that no matter what. But please know I see everything---for real: I never miss an upload. And I'll comment again soon, I promise. A shout out to Rod, whose surgery is Monday rather than Friday (sneaky doctors!): My wishes remain the same. And to Steve (eekdog) who has struggled of late, and for whom all his fan's wishes remain. And to all my other fans---whatever they're doing, whatever they're going through: My wishes for a terrific May for everyone. Thanks so much for visiting me everytime: It means the world to me. May inspirations abound! Mark (left off comments 'cause I'm not commenting...just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten anyone. I'll be back soon!) --------------------
