What is worse than being cold--or having a cold? What about being cold when one has a cold? That is pretty much my current situation. Ugh.

After posting the poll for what topic the next calendar I create should be in, it was a 3:2 landslide...in favor of nude pinups with clothed pinups in the runner up position. As of today, I have uploaded that resulting calendar for sale. I do hope you will find these calendars to be enjoyable.

It is strange that it took me so long to publish a calendar. In truth this year was my third attempt. First year, I had all the artwork prepared but then my pup got scared from some thunder and leaped into my arms for protection. In the process, she knocked a few things to the floor...including the external hard drive that contained that artwork. By the time it was recreated, it was too late. Second year, other chores overwhelmed me to the point where by the time I could dedicate my efforts to the task, it was again...too late. This year, this task was at last completed and it is in my print store waiting.

Some have told me that all those incidents, including many small ones that prevented the effort for last year, was a sign that I should not try again. However, they do not know the level of my resolve. Other than the time issues, I certainly would not want to not try again and again till it is done. Now to come up with an idea for the next calendar.....

Please note that these are not my words, this is a reposting as requested.


No offense, but ... People are getting too fake on me . They only want posts, comments, or to see how many friends they can get. So let's see who will actually repost this. This is a test to see who's paying attention. This is a test to see how many people in my friends list actually pay attention to me. Copy and repost in your own bulletin. Lets see who the true friends are and I think I know who you are... Repost this if you are a friend...Don't reply... just copy and paste this in a new bulletin as "Fake Friends'

True friends will read and repost this. Fake friends will just ignore it.
