The first car I ever drove over 120 miles per hour was my 1966 Pontiac LaMans. Same body as the GTO. I bought it for cash I had earned working at a summer job before my second year of college. Was the same color as this one. Man, I would give anything to have it today. For years after I traded it off I had dreams about still having it.

Haven't posted for a while. I have been dealing with some health issues with my thinker and ticker, that has zapped my energy for about two months.Tomarrow I get the test results from my cardologist. Please keep me in your prayers.
Also, the Covid booster I took really messed up my memory and things like writing this post and working on my computer. It has taken me forever just to put this post together. I have slowly been getting better.
Have reasently had both EEG and an MRI. My Neurologist tells me he didn't see any signs of dementia but I definitely have something going on up there that isn't right. I should have known better, Vickie has been telling me that for years, ha,ha. I don't get the final test results until the end of July.
I have been busy in my studio hopefully growing as an artist. I just completed the stained glass abstract work I posted. It is for one of my four entries for the New Mexico State Fair Fine Arts Compation. I chose to do something that was complicated and busy. I think my other three will be a painting, a drawing and a dead wood sculpture. Let me know what you think. The design in the middle comes from an old piece of Anastasi pottery from Chaco Canyon. The perhistoric Anastasi indian culture vanished around 1200 years ago.

I'm happy. I sold three original paintings during Christmas. Two sold at Romero Street Gallery and the 3rd (the Flamingo Dancer) was bought by the husband of Vickies best friend of 42 years as a Christmas surprise.
