    That is very exciting. My eye expects a "Times" font and that is what I saw.

    but wherever...thank you. this internet thing is pretty cool!

    One thing that is helping it is on pinterest.com now. I had showed my wife this thread last year and she just showed it to me on pinterest.

    Great, as always. I guess you could do this money thing in your sleep now so you need the challenge of the Canadian money, looking forward to seeing it.

    I just can't get over the newspapers. Randall, you are truly an AMAZING talent. The money was wonder enough, but when I look at the two newspapers folded, I mean look really close, I STILL can't tell that those were hand-painted!! I and all the others love enjoying your art -- please keep it coming.

    And, ... thank you.
