Just letting you all know that I'm having surgery tomorrow to replace my pacemaker. I've had my current one since December of 1997, when I had my heart transplant, and now the batteries are almost dead. I'll be getting a whole new pacemaker put in tomorrow. Many thanks to all of you who have commented on my latest pieces. I don't know when I'll be posting again. I'll be relaxing for the next 4 days, trying to heal up a bit, and then it's back to work on Monday.

It insulting to me, not flattering, when people ask to take my image and cut it up and stick it into their digital art, or to use with their poem, or whatever, etc, etc, etc....
