Jaime, Billll, Dr. Froyd, Nurse Duckett, Lulu Raging Bullfrog, Bossy LeCow and the entire over-population of Dr. Froyd’s Funny Farm bid you all fondue.

Which we hope will be soon. We LIKE being kicked around.

Jaime grabbed me by the ear (figuratively) and dragged me into his office this morning to see this lovely painting by Dan Chessher: Dawn at Dr. Froyd’s Funny Farm. Ain’t it gawjus? Makes you want to go out and do some doga at yawn in the topiary garden. Which is what Dr. Froyd is doing right now…in the painting I mean. The sun is rising on our picture too, and it looks like a beautiful day ahead! Thanks Dan!
