I had the worst headache I’ve ever had in my life last night. Just a real migraine. Finally went to sleep around 11. Don’t know if I’ve been working too hard, or eating wrong, no exercise. Probably all of the above.

Delivered a small painting to JD yesterday, as a token of appreciation for him helping to grade our driveway. He’s a great neighbor. Loves any excuse to use his tractor. Can’t hear though, so you have to yell everything: “I SAID THIS IS A SMALL TOKEN OF APPRECIATION!” What? “APPRECIATION...TOKEN...THANKS FOR GRADING THE DRIVEWAY!” Giving the bride away? “NO, GRADING THE DRIVEWAY!!” You get the picture.

Can’t put up pictures of the art until next week. My scanner is down and Robert Ray asked me to wait until the magazine is out the door to scan at the office. No problem.

Almost have my office cleaned. Going to finish today and start on studio this weekend. Also want to do an illustration of John Wayne riding a Jackalope. I’ll explain later.
