TO EVERYONE WHO LEFT SUCH HEARTWARMING MESSAGES OF ENCOURAGEMENT...
What can I say? Presenting my work to you has been a joy. It's been my privilege to entertain and provoke such a wondrous variety of good souls.
I have every intention to keep swinging for the fences and hope to heaven your participation is rewarded with lively artwork.
Thanks for reminding me, and each other, how a little kindness and encouragement can be inspirational. You're all ACES.
Sincerely,
John

I spent a little time on the table on my back with my cardilogist back in '02.
Took the wind out of my sails for about 6 months, though I went back to work the week after the stent was placed.
Take it slow, John. I mean easy. You'll be right soon enough.
Hang in there, pard.

JOHN:
Thank you for sharing your work, letting us participate a little bit, & for maintaining the forum. Just keep getting better.
ALL:
I'd like to echo John's sentiment regarding kindness & inspiration. I've been choking on the toxicity of politics as of late. As the subversion of the Lefties is exposed, a number of Righties seem to be in a contest to see who can make the biggest jackass of themselves.
I don't know about you guys, but as Curtis told Jake & Elwood, maybe we "could use some churching up." Here are two versions of an old gospel song I thought fitting--"My Living Shall Not Be In Vain." There are lots of other versions, but these two aren't in the more typical slow, brooding style (with the obligatory Hammond Organ, rolling piano, & vocal gymnastics). I get a little choked up when I listen to some of those--too emotional (& some are just overdone). These two are much warmer.
(1) A charming young women's/girls' choir:

(2) Tennessee Ernie Ford (with a nice little parable):

I hope you enjoy them--I'd love gospel music (especially black gospel) if I was a rabid atheist.

So sorry for the redundancy -- was trying to correct "linseed." (I think I had "lint-head" swirling in my brain.) Edit me, John! And feel better.

John,
Damn, I take a few days away for work and come back to this?
Dude, I am so glad you are doing better, plan on getting better and I wish you all the best in your efforts. Your talents and fun quips would have been sorely missed. Hang tough and keep it up!
