Artsy, but not fartsy

It's been an artsy day for me. This morning, my workplace held its monthly staff event, and this month's theme was a talent show. I was told early in the morning that there were very few "acts" signed up for it, so they were going to be spaced out and people could mingle, and perform if they decided on the spur of the moment. I did something I don't do very often: I determined the chords for "Thank You For the Music" and performed it! So for those of who who missed it, it'll be years before my next scheduled performance. My solo-ing goes on the same kind of schedule as a comet.

My other "artsy" moment today came when I finished the first of some collages I want to make. I decided to do scrapbook-style pages of various parts of our honeymoon last year.

This is obviously San Francisco, and these pictures were taken as we tried to find our way out of the city.

I don't know which set of pictures I'll tackle next, but it may be Disneyland.

Next picture: We went to Montana's for supper tonight, and I got Jason to play hangman with me. After he figured out what the word was, he proceeded to guess every letter of the alphabet in order to avoid filling in the word. However, I outsmarted him by giving the man a hat, gloves, briefcase, pipe, and monocle before I would consider him complete. Notice that he does not have a left foot, and you will see that Jason managed to figure out the word in time to save the man's life!
