Another loss was our family connection. Distance, decades and busy lives have a tendency to do that.
Ponder This...
Encountering sooooooo many artists in the family begs this obvious question:
I recently had a gene study done and the word 'whiz' was nowhere to be found in the results. (That's enough out you, John and Dennis. And Brent. And Dianne, Lou, and Jim!)
Perhaps it's time to launch a research study on this very subject.
I humbly submit that open-face crimpbread slices, spread with Cheese Whiz and sprinkled with crunched-up potato chips ingested weekly may enhance, yea stimulate, pre-existing artistic DNA.
And all the more when ingested on The Lord's Day along with a minimum of one cookie, chased with a glass of sugary iced tea and preceeding a vigorous physical contest, such as ping pong or foosball, for example.
Furthermore, I postulate that these effects may be multiplied exponentially with the simultaneous offering of the sweet incense of cigar smoke.
Considering the multiplicity of artists in the clan and the aforementioned preponderance of quite-possibly-legitimate circumstantial evidence, it behooves us, as recipients of such grace, to offer ourselves as living participants in expanding the body of research, even as a clan by re-instituting:

Ask Auntie Wilma and Auntie Shirley to go thru their pics we'd like to see from this era.
I say we need a ping pong table for sure.
