Boy, it turned out to be a very nice day. Ted and I went and watched Brother Bear, which was pretty good, and we bobbled by the comic shop, and the art gallery called us to tell us some of the artwork we’d brought over to be framed was done, and the X-Women print turned out *gorgeously*. Very happy! *beam* Then in the mail today I got a congratulations card from my Aunt Ardie for selling US and its two sequels. *beam* It’s got a Thoreau quote on the front:…
