(like a child playing with publicity matches, accidentally setting the woods on fire, and now watching from a distance, hidden up in a tree, waiting to see what happens)

Things are crazy around here. The hits to the blog are still building, we have had several offers on the painting, as well as people interested in other work. Today I start teaching my mini semester (14 days/3 hours a day, a class I never taught before). I will be leaving for Miami Thursday evening.... I will miss the vernissage on Thursday night, because I am already getting a sub for my class on Friday, and I did not want to take off on the 2nd day of class as well.

I don't quite know what to expect at the fair... I am excited, but quite anxious as well. Slept 3 hours last night, working on my webpage to make clear which pieces are available, and which ones are in collections. It would appear that my response to stress, even "good" stress, is work.
