Artist/friend Marilyn from Arizona asked if I use

a ruler for straight edges?

Yes, I use a little 6" ruler for straight edges & a cheap plastic kid's protractor, french curve, curly cue thing for some curves. I rarely use scissors, unless I have no choice in tight spaces. I just prefer the rugged edge of torn paper. Thanks for asking.

Dr. Sodl said Yes! I can return to karate training! He said no striking hard surfaces yet, but that's okay since I'll be busy trying to re-learn the many katas that have escaped during my two year hiatus. So thanks to any of you who crossed fingers and other appendage for this great outcome.

Thanks again.

"I like this part of the new year.

A few days in when everything settles after the hectic holiday pace.

Like a snow globe when the shaking stops."

Throwback Thursday ...
