A Very Wet Back to School

The edges of Frances have reached New York and there's been a steady, heavy downpour since the middle of the night. Not a great morning for back-to-school, but I suppose it will make it easier for the kids to realize that summer is over. Stan took the morning off to take Julia to school and she is more excited about that than the actual return to school. She loved it when Stan was home, laid off, and picked her up from school, made her lunch, and practiced pitching with her after school. It's one of those silver-lining stories.

Not posting much because I'm workingo n the artwork for the next issue of CPA. I had an idea of where I wanted to go, did the background with no problem, and felt very smug that I knew what I was doing. Then it all came to a screeching halt around Monday evening and I was in my usual panic. My sister Maria came over last night and gave me some good comments so I'm off and running again.

Will have more time later in the week to post.
