Regina, thanks for these references. I hadn’t seen those last two writers before. I say every day that tomorrow I will make a skedule and keep to it. Jeepers! Now I have jury duty tomorrow. Maybe I can sketch while I wait.

I thought there were a lot of good suggestions out there. And I hope your jury duty goes well!
