Oh my gosh! Danny, we are in Sun City. I had no idea you are in Phoenix. We are moving back to Southern, CA. Absolutely can not handle the Extreme Heat!! Among other things. One Summer was enough. Wishing you the very Best! Thank you for everything you share. You're fantastic, Cheers!

I've devoted entire pages in various journals with this quote. One of my faves.

[dorisdavidson]

I enjoyed this, a quote is a great way to use the first page of a sketch book when you're afraid of ruining it, somehow writing out something is less daunting. Thanks

LOVE your lettering. Instantly distinguishable and it always makes me smile. (You mentioned high temps in late afternoon, and I've found the same. 🤔 Mad dogs and Englishmen must sleep in late.

Here in North Carolina, the Carolina wrens sure are loud ! The blue birds are quieter.

I enjoy listening to your voice and love all your insights and your drawings….i agree lettering is fun …. That is until I misspell a word in the middle of a quote….i would never dare try to do it whilst I was speaking.😂. 2025

"Your Thursday...Nope, sorry. It's time to do Thursday again." 😂

One Friday years ago at work, I had a genuine panic attack because I thought it was Tuesday and Tuesday that week had been a b*tch. LOL

Immortality is like a guaranty that you'll have enough time to try out more than one option, have time to screw up and start again and maybe even have something done. Otherwise you may feel like a child sent to bed with a remark: "hurry up, you have to wake up in five hours!" Huh? Then why bother to sleep at all? I know I feel this way about life. It's way too short for the likes of me. The shy type perfectionists.
