Happy Holidays
We'll be heading off soon to enjoy Christmas with my family in the heartland (weather and airlines permitting). Bambino and I wish you all a very happy Holiday Season and much success in the New Year!
Someone at a party last night said something I hear a good deal, which, without false modesty, I'll note was "Everyone loves your blog." I realize the hyperbole in the sentiment is a compliment and I'm always truly very happy when someone takes the time to say they read here, but I often answer by noting that the credit goes mostly to the commenters. They, without false flattery, often agree.
I too love this blog, precisely because of the commenters, and would like to thank those of you who take time out of your day to contribute to the dialog here. Reading the threads is something I look forward to every morning, and even when we disagree, I'm aware of the gift your participation represents. For those of you who read, but don't comment (the legion of "lurkers" [we really need a nicer name than that in the blogosphere, it sounds like someone wearing an old raincoat and nothing else]), I would like to thank you too. I see you in the hit counts, which increase with each year, and truly appreciate the encouragement your stopping by supplies.
As my gift to all of you, here's my favorite YouTube video of the year. It's simple, and astonishing. It's not very Christmassy, in any traditional sense, but it did make me appreciate my life and the wonderous world we live in, which seems no small feat for a 40-second piece to do:
We'll see you after Christmas. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Tons of PEACE to you both and amazing art sales! Safe journeys-see ya next year.
The Thai way of online shopping?
that's very funny!
Thanks, Ed, for the video gift--truly amazing. And thanks for the blog, which has become my daily fix.
If it's not too forward, may I suggest that while you're away, anyone needing their daily fix can click on over to my site for a look at the Miami fairs, one by one: www.joannemattera.blogspot.com.
(Click onto the Pulse report and scroll down a bit for a visit to the Winkleman Gallery installation.)
Safe travels, Ed and Bambino.
Happy Solstice to all.
Joanne's coverage of Miami (our booth included) is nearly encyclopedic. Certainly the most indepth of any out there. I highly recommend it.
Happy Solstice!
it's true. joanne busted her ass. thanks, joanne.
Beautiful video!
Here's to another year :)
Ed,

Ed:
Thank you for the incredible gift that you have given us through this blog. I read it every day (unless there is a deadline looming), link to it several times a month, and tell every artist who will listen that it is a must-read. Best wishes for you and your loved ones, Kate
Happy holidays. You are right about getting a better descriptive phrase to replace lurkers. Love the blog.
