Spring Training is Over
Tomorrow I head to Columbia, SC for my first art show of the season. Ben did his usual job of stressing me to the max while trying to prepare for my job.
This picture (taken earlier today) is typical of him when he’s healthy. I get the impression sometimes that [...]

Ben decides on purple.
