not much of an april fools...

There is a lot of death and sadness in the world in the last twenty-four hours. At least my step-dad is happy with the Teflon wok I gave him for his birthday -- hopefully it cooks well -- that way I can use it, of course, and perhaps the old one can retire with me for the summer... Always remember the little pleasures in life, they more of them there are, the more to crowd other problems.

I started drawing last night -- I want to learn how to do concept skteches -- so I'm going to draw and draw and see if it clicks. It's gotten my mind off things.

And the rest of Arran pictures have been uploaded... for what it's worth.
