Neat! It looks like the piece that I submitted for the art show in Brussels WUZ displayed (at least for a few minutes) and a few people even claimed editions! Pretty cool...if I do say so myself!

It's like a multimedia creation device!] Mariah and I try to go to Ashland, Oregon, every summer to watch a play from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's schedule of events. This year, we saw MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, which was beyond good! We also ate at several good places (Skout's Taphouse, The Wild Goose, and - on the trip there - La Hacienda Real near Salem), and visited book stores, comic shops, and galleries...

Meanwhile, have a laugh at our audio banter!!! ---Richard & Mariah
