Weird blow offs and other things

So, today, I was in a housing complex that had some homes owned by elder ladies (some probably in their 80's). One lady, probably over 80, looked at me and said, "OH, I'm an artist too,a COMMERCIAL artist" (we've heard this one before)...cue in me saying, "well, etc." and she says, "O, we're too old for that."

One nice lady said, "Oh, you sweet boy," which, despite my being 47, was very nice.

Two other very old women bought my book with a huge smile on their face and one said she was giving it to her grandkid.

I think it is very interesting how these different old women had such different takes on the totality of their lives, and I saw it like a prism telling me how they are in this stretch.

I sometimes wonder when an elderly person is a real sourpuss how they managed all through their lives with such an attitude. Is it just related to me, are they always that way? Did something change them when they were old?

Happy Holidays

Well, I have been remiss recently about writing posts, and I've been blanking a bit on cartoons, so, sorry about that. Just wanted to wish everyone a happy holiday and a merry new year!

my computer is working again.

I try to remember the weirdest situations I get into, but since it's been a month since I had a home computer, the little markings I make to remind myself of situations don't jog my memory. I'll try to get back on it. I've been motivating more towards sales recently, but a whole new cartoon series (with the same characters) is bubbling up.

Best blow off in a while

Well, I've been doing this so long that I rarely hear a new "get lost." But, here is the best one I've heard in a while:

"I'd love to, but I'm not interested."
