I think she's still on holiday vacation, but I hope she sees this when she gets back....

One last portrait for 2008!

Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

It's still a little early here, that's my excuse.

I love the ice skaping princess and the Hello Kitty Zamboni, but I am most greatly amused by the subtle yellow snow.

ES's work is sublime, and I especially love the cameo appearances and background details he provides. Most excellent.

Yay I love cameos and so do my shoes. It's a great portrait and I always wanted to be a coach.

I actually went skaping early this morning b/c it's snowing out and the pond is almost empty when its snowing so I could really fly, plus it's awesome skating in the snow!! I also saw a smallish girl (8 or 9) wearing a Jagr jersey, pink hockey skates (!) and a helmet about three times too big for her. Clearly, the future is in good hands.

Also there's a Charmin bathroom station smack in the middle of Times Square...Just Sayin'

LOL!

I too love the snowperson having been visited by Annie or Casey or some fourfooter of our acquaintance.

And the HK Zamboni mowing down the ES character! Genius!

I finally got a few minutes to really look at the drawing. THANKS SO MUCH, EVIL SQUIRREL, FOR MAKING MY VERY OWN DRAWING!!! It's almost as exciting as my $50K check! :D I really love it! Now I'm wondering can anyone tell me, the Techno Idiot, how to make it my avatar? :? I haven't ever had one because I have no clue how to do it, but I would love to use this one.

I'm going to try printing the picture out, but I'm not sure how successful that will be either. Any suggestions for doing it, should my attempts fail? I'm going to try just printing the page as well as perhaps cutting and pasting to a Word document?

And for tlynn, the answer to your Crisco wonderings can be found in my second day show transcript. See final question. :(

Thanks again!

Shocking! It actually worked! I could print it both ways so I now have copies for walls everywhere and for my Millionaire souvenirs.

Thanks, I got it. Just wasn't thinking when I posted that. It is a GREAT rendering, isn't it. Sheer genius, that boy.
