I'm back from a really wonderful time overseas with

After having so much fun and good times, it's kind of a rude bump to come back to reality here at the Palatial Hermit Cave. but I came back with lotsa goodies, tons of pics and tons more wonderful memories. I've traveled around a lot, but that's one of the absolute best trips I ever did and I'm so glad I went.

While there, nathie did my portrait, which you can see here: [link]

Absolutely fabulous work. I'll be using it as my ID pic, perhaps here, but definitely on my y!gallery page......as soon as I figure out how to revamp it, because I don't want to put up such great looking artwork on such a dull and generic looking page. Kind of like finding the right frame for the painting, know what I mean?

P.S. -- I'll be around here more often, thanks to brand new shiney speedy connection. As soon as I get some stuff out of my old compie at the end of the month (the screen died), I'll have a couple fresh things to put up here.
