Skype blog writer, journalist, Howard Wolinsky,
interviewed me on Skype video. The subject? The
drawings I do when I talk to my sons and my
friends on Skype. Howard saw my sketch of Flora Doehler
on the blog, and asked if he could do a piece on me.
During our conversations I found out quite a bit about Howard,
too. In addition to being a top American journalist, he is an
excellent photographer. When I get his permission I'll link
you in to his photos, and I know you'll be impressed.
Howard put the video he shot on You Tube, so it's there
for the world to see.

I taught my last class of the semester at school this
afternoon, and I'll really miss those people. They
put on impromptu presentations reviewing for the
exam, and were happy to let the class run past its
time at the end of the day on a Friday afternoon.
Tonight I got to see the design a wonderful fellow,
Richard Teitelbaum is creating for my web site, which
should be up in a few weeks. It was just lovely -- simple,
and elegant, exactly what I'd been hoping for.
So it's time for me to call it a day -- I call it an incredibly
great day.

talking to my son, Sam. I may do more work on it, but
I'm not sure. I like the kind of comic book quality I
get drawing with markers.
Have an absolutely fabulous day!

Hi Aunt Barbie,
Just watched your Skype interview. Fabulous. Félicitations. I have to say though, as a fellow paintee I'm jealous of this Skype thing you're doing. I think secretly you got it to talk to me. Even if I don't have the program installed anymore.
Anyways, love the sketches. Love you miss you. Nice interview.
XXOO

Hi Eldon,
I'm glad you liked it. Please do.
I felt that way when I heard your voice on your video. I'm reading the book now and loving it.
Take care,
