There were two little possums in my back yard the other night. I managed to get this shot after one of them climbed a tree and posed for me. No, those aren't laser beams shooting out of his eyes. Although that would be cool, wouldn't it?

I was planning to go to Fort Worth last night to see a painting exhibition but I was so tired. I was falling asleep on the couch while we were waiting for Sam's dad to come pick him up. I fell asleep around 7:00 and then woke up at 11:00. I went back to bed at 2:30 and didn't get up until 10:00 this morning. What a slug.

Congratulations to the red paper clip guy! He started with one red paper clip and a dream: own a house. Looks like he made it happen. It only took a year and a few trades (and a lot of press).

My friend Marlys' daughter, Simone Carter, is going to be in a movie on Lifetime - Not Like Everyone Else. It airs Monday, July 10th at 8:00 pm central (9:00 eastern and pacific). I'm really excited for her. She's really talented at a lot of things but she's decided that she wants to be an acress. She's even on IMDB! Anyway, be sure to check it out.

Well, it's 4:00 and I'm just now getting ready to head out. I did get my office cleaned up today, so it wasn't like I was sitting around watching TV. So I'm off to the studio for a while.
