ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL is absolutely gorgeous. (I have to figure out how to put it on our large TV screen). Your color palette gives me shivers. The eye that captures these images through a camera is astonishing. Thank you. (If you change your mind about printing it...)

Human beings can be gob-smackingly oblivious. Barbara's tales from the clinic are entertaining and enlightening as relates to our foibles and strengths as a species!

This pairing of images is compelling, adding subtle complexity to the match. I love the easy solution to a crime. I'm going to remember this, just in case I ever get a job. You can't tell me what to do on my lunch hour and I quit. Plus the graphic of the desk is once again, the best find ever.

Best tale I've read in I don't know how long. Questions: What year was this? Did any of Diana's customers come looking for her during the lunch hour?

It was sometime in the late 1990’s. And yes, of course Diana’s customers came looking for her: her customers were my patients. It was an excellent example of entrepreneurial co-location.
