Hi Mig,

Sorry I forgot to do that. The day after we had our little KickAS party, Dorrit and I went over on the ferry to Vancouver Island to spend the day with my brother. The ferry seats on one of the older ferries were not very comfortable and I had a pain in the neck when we arrived back home in the evening.

I wrapped the Farabloc cloth around it for half an hour and it went away. Haven't had a repeat of that pain since. Nope, not hoping for another pain so I can try the cloth in another position.

Actually, we have quite a number of west coast native prints and all of them are numbered prints. The cream of the collection are the three Bill Reid prints, one of which you can see right above me in the first pic that Tom posted. Another Reid can be seen to my left side in the pic of Laura and I standing. The third Reid is directly behind Laura's head. Bill Reid passed away only a few years ago and I believe that many of his prints can be seen on the net by now.

We are so used to them hanging there that I forgot to tell everyone to walk down the hall and around the corner and they would have seen a dozen more prints. It didn't occur to me that anyone would pick them out in Tom's pictures.

Dorrit started the collection a few years before we met each other. At that time, her only reason for buying them was because she liked them. It was only a very few years ago that we realized what an excellent investment her purchase was. We have been adding to the collection but stopped a while ago for lack of wall space.

Tom,

Great pictures and another time I see why we get no sympathy
You all look great

Glad to see a glimpse into your home George, but where is that closet with the chocolate!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Tom for the treat

hugs,

Awwww MiG!

Thanks - due to a tragedy in the class, the faculty has been really good about getting the marks back to us sooner than usual (that way if anyone needed a rewrite they'd organize it ASAP - we're on Spring Break and it would be a great time to rewrite if it was necessary). So far, all reports are good, so as I've told a few others, I'm living each day with the "no news is good news" philosophy.

Thanks for the art comment - I have a small piece of native art (killer whale) in my study. I've heard legends that say the killer whale was once upon a time a great white wolf that jumped into the sea and became a whale ... that's why it has all the white markings. I love the idea of that transformation.

Good to be back.
Jeanna

Hey big guy,
While you're SuperGeorge (and long may it continue) you have the perfect opportunity to create more wall space and therefore room for more of those great prints (yup, they're my taste too): Just get out there this Spring/Summer and build an extension on your home?

There's no doubt about it you all look fantastic! Laura's smile just pips you at the post though George, sorry

If you've not met Timo and Pete before you're in for a treat, you may need to put that mesh over your ribcage for the duration. It was pretty darn special meeting them in England/Toronto respectively.

can't keep the smile off my face just reading this thread...stting down isn't the problem it's getting up!...great pics

dance like nobody's watchin....

Jeanna,

Your legend of the origin of the Killer whale is one of the nicest of the many I have heard over the years. We have been interested in finding some of these legends as these old stories from each of the native west coast tribes has much influence over their depiction of the killer whale in their art.

Some of these old legends border on being too X-rated for appearing on KickAS but nevertheless, are fascinating.
