thanks for your comment and your honesty. i like most art but i do find some of it beyond my comprehension. the most valuable commodity in my life is life itself,and i do feel aggrieved when i see people starving on the news, then i change channels to see a piece of old furniture going for thousands on the antiques roadshow. incidentally, i noticed your blurtit start date as december 21. thats the shortest day of the year and my birthday, ha ha
