Blood On The Saddle Stitching & Angst For The Memories

 November 8, 2024

   Man, I have some people to thank! First up, We had a whole lotta stitchin' goin' on yesterday. And, during the assembly line session, one of our stitchers cut her finger and bled on one of the pages. We pulled it off the line and I added a couple balloons with text and signed and dated it for Jeryl Jones, of Orange Tree Press.

   And, here are all the Stitchers on the afternoon of their graduation.

   Meanwhile, over at Patinas they are gearing up for tomorrow's show. And, nobody is more excited than this guy.

Daily Whip Out: "Old Vaquero #69"

   Yes, I am of that generation of boys that never quite got over the forbidden giggle of the number 69. I know, I know, it's so seventh grade, but well, part of me is still back there intellectually. But you knew that.

(The Hairy One)

  Sometimes, but not always, it's about the teeth. I say this with some painful authority because on Monday I have to go in for a root canal. 

Angst for the Memories

   I also had a full physical yesterday and my doctor asked me when was the last time I had a colonoscopy and I quoted a new hero of mine.

"After my colonoscopy the nurse said, 'See you in ten years,' and I said, 'the hell you will!'"
