The Big D
Matt and I are on our way to Dallas- Love Field. I 'love' the name of that airport! This will be our first trip, er... VACATION... since our honeymoon 7 months ago. It's Matt's first break since then! Wow. We've been workin' it hard. Over the last week, in-between work and work and other stuff, we refinished the floors on the third floor of our house. It is safe to say, that is some back breaking work!! Good lord, I really underestimated that project. I tried to stay out of the house all day so Matt and Andy could just, um, get it all done without me! We had a great time at the artist talk at my show at the Arts Incubator. Then I de-installed my work at Paragraph and hauled the work across town to EG Schempf to get the slides done. I chatted with him and Lilly, had a beer and chatted about the kcmo art scene. He has fantastic, lifelong, insight on the subject. I prolonged this meeting in hopes the sanding would be done when I got home. No dice. I returned and helped sand the second and third finest grades of sandpaper. Then we feverishly stained until unthinkable happened - we spilled can of stain. No biggie, you can't even tell. Whew! Hope Andy is here to enjoy it but we'll see... Calli is calling him.
