Today was a doubleheader of good financial news. No, I’m not talking about the Dow Jones Industrials and the S&P 500 and their record highs. No, I’m talking about my brother Chris who sold a couple of pictures and Dan who got a job.

My brother Chris sold two of his photographs this month. He sold them to Valley Yellow Pages. One photograph depicts McAbee Beach at historic Cannery Row. This photo will cover the Monterey edition of the Valley yellow pages. The other photograph covers the Carmel edition of the Valley yellow pages. It depicts Mission Carmel. Chris got $200 for each picture.

Dan announced that he got a job today, with a Facebook photo post of his new employee parking pass. He will start work as a librarian for the Otis College of Art and Design. This work with a regular paycheck will help out financially and will still allow him time to work on his art. This is a good thing, because he has three more tables to make.
