2026

Ývan surprised me with the biggest of all surprises for my birthday! This morning we drove to an Old Navy parking lot to pick up our newest art acquisition: this fancy orc guy, an original painting by none other than the late Richard Bober (he of mystery artist Wrinkle in Time infamy!)
I loved this magnificent gentleman the first time I laid eyes on him a few years ago and my gast was completely flabbered when I realized Ývan had stored that tidbit away and later secured him for me. Get you a partner and collaborator who delights in your delights, for real!
Ývan was later aghast to learn I have renamed this fine fellow Dominic Toretto.

Wow, what a fantastic painting (can't stop looking at the gleam in the armor!), and lovely, lovely birthday surprise. Finding a partner who just gets your strange little heart is one of the best feelings in the world :)
