Karen and I were going to Olustee on Saturday, but we didn't make it. This is an official apology to Thomas Lee and Gail.

Mickey and his knights

Every Tuesday night I get together with the Quigleys at the Black Cat Burritos for dinner and beer. Little Mickey Miggs, their three year old, always demands that I draw him pictures of knights.

He is a very demanding artistic patron: What do you want me to draw Mickey?

"Knights! I want knights!"

ok - what kind of knight. "I want a BAD knight! With a shield!"

Should he have a lance or a sword or something? "A sword - he has a sword."

Should I put something like an eagle or a cross on his shield?
"NO! Nothing on his shield."

Alright. Nothing on the shield. Should he be on a horse? "NO! Just standing."

"And he doesn't have those things!" ..... What things?

"On his feet. He doesn't ride a horse!"

Oh. You mean spurs?

"'purs! No 'purs! He is NOT on a horse."

And I used to think his sister was bossy.

I'm beginning to know how Dad felt once upon a time when he had to draw knights.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Blaine, Thomas and I wish you a very Happy birthday!!!!
