News and Japan

I got my job back for next year, YAY!!! And I am thinking about Japan. It is really sad and I am thinking about how to help. I am thinking a donation after taxes and/or posting my paintings on facebook and doing an auction. That is telling people to donate to red cross in the amt they think any given painting is worth and then sending them the painting for free. I dont know if my paintings are very good but I DO know that japan definetly needs some help. Wow. If you would be interested in any of my paintings for this purpose please let me know I would do it on the honor system, just send money to Red Cross and I will send you a painting. Hmmm. Well its a thought. Also, had a great white wine the other night, alot of very complex and interesting flavors. It was French, yessss. Okay so I have to admit they CAN do some pretty good wines although I always used to think their wines were a bit overrated. But it had a very dynamic and complex mix of flavors and a slightly sweet finish. A good bit of citrus but not too sour. For you connosieurs (ack) whatever, it was called Vauray. Not sure what that means but it was very very good.
