Just today I registered at Smith Mag, on a whim. I had known about it, of course. So all day today I have been checking in!

Anyway, I am still a bit shocked that two people could think so exactly alike! I thought these words up when I was going through a particularly depressing streak on bad luck.

Thanks, Lisa! I've been to the Hammer once, back in 2007. Liked it!I find it amazing these words came to me thousands of miles away in Jaipur, India, where I currently live!
Best for your art work!
