A bit of personal news (as they say):

Painting will continue, but will obviously be more limited!
I hesitate to post - I don’t feel desevering. But,
@icedsweetee
never let me forget that I was her biggest “frenemy”: she told me (often)when she disagreed. When my apt burned down, she mailed me a key to her apt “just in case” I needed somewhere.
She had our backs.

I found this on my iPad today - drawn exactly a year ago. I drew it after I left the Senate Committee on Education, feeling everything we all felt after hearing of

This was my hope for the angels who are no longer among us.

Happy heavenly birthday to the love of my life. My grandmother would have been 99 today.
One of my favorite memories (of thousands) was, as a staffer, being able to bring her to the

THANK YOU FOR THE SUPPORT.
Don’t forget to get your orders in for holiday delivery!
Good morning,
