Back to the Ol' Drawing Board.....

 Well, after a brief visit out to LA-LA-Land to visit and connect, I am back in my chair-- both at the drawing table and the computer. Mardi Gras is calling, and I must finish in order to accept other commissions.
 Oddly enough, I had been slow and had received no responses to my solicitations for piecework. The day I was leaving for Burbank, I received an offer for a caricature commission. I politely declined, citing my looming departure. I also received an offer for a one-day caricature job, for which I was unavailable.
 The REAL kicker came when, after I had arrived out West, I received an inquiry about a FOUR-DAY GIG ON A CRUISE SHIP, banking SERIOUS bucks!! Of course, it was the same weekend I was away, so I was unavailable for this job, as well.
Frustrating.

But I DID get to see CONAN.

CONAN O'BRIEN!

My sister, Gwen, and I attended the taping of Conan O'Brien's "CONAN" this afternoon on The Warner Brothers Studios lot.

CONAN on tbs.

VERY funny.

Doggone It! LLOYD PITTS Is On "The Tonight Show With JAY LENO"!!

Spanish Fort's own LLOYD PITTS, my brother-in-law, appeared last night on JAY LENO and won a FREE MEAL for baying like a hound dog!

Accompanied by his lovely wife Gwen, their equally lovely daughter Hannah, and the beautiful and charming Clarissa Povenmire (wife of the famous DAN of "Phineas & Ferb" fame), Lloyd barked his way across America and into millions of homes!

Jonah, LLP's son, was sequestered in "The Green Room", probably due to leash laws...

I couldn't be more proud!
