Holiday Dreams 23

 Sunday was our annual Holiday Dreams day in Santa's UHaul. This year was some kind of record: 25 stops, which took a whopping 9 hours and covered nearly 140 miles. Every year Syl tells me this is her favorite day of the year. Mine too. We get to see great people, we get a Christmas energy injection like no other, and we help a lot of kids. What's not to love!?




People are very generous. 


Even elves have to stretch!





We had a lot of four-legged help along the way.





Lunch at the original Dunkin!


We ended with a full load...


...but that was only a fraction of what the organization collects and distributes.


The founders! Always a pleasure to help this family's great work.

23s Tree

 It has been a busy couple of weeks, but we got the tree up!










November Art

A light output in November, volume-wise, but high in quality and spanning all of Syl's preferred media: 

First, the kid's imagination kills me. The latest in Syl's "Cake Zombie" series, created digitally.

Next, Syl worked for weeks on this memento our our trip to Vegas to see U2 in the Sphere, in acrylics. 


Finally, a pencil-sketch of David Byrne in the Talking Heads' heyday.
