Above is a portrait by Declan, our future artist for America. Please notice Wyatt has stuck his toes in the water too. Dan our current artist in residence commented, “I can see it. It’s a decent resemblance.” After three days on the road, we have finally made it home. Dan and Britt are in the Lou too. Lunch today with them at Southwest Diner. Having to plough through winter storm Ezra made for a grueling trip back. This drive has swung our personal pendulum towards flying to California, which will be our next trip, the first of 2026. We have satellite radio. With more than 500 stations, we almost always listen to just one, the Sixties channel. On this station there is one DJ who is our favorite, Plash Phelps. He does the morning show, at least on days where he is not traveling and he travels a lot. He is kind of our role model. Not that we are in his league, but it gives us something to shoot for.
