I was going to work further on this rendering, but the computer on which the software is installed went down in flames today. I don't have Friday the 13th "issues", it does though seem, somehow, ironic...

My Two Cents Worth...

25 cents, actually.

I'm interested in money; more specifically coins. I think what's chosen to appear on coins says alot about a country. Much more than stamps due to the limited number.

In this country, each state has its own unique persona. Yes, I'm one of those people the U.S. Mint loves. I'm collecting state quarters.

Of the 38 that have come out so far, these are my favorites...at least the 10 I've been able to narrow the list down to for the purpose of this posting:


Rhode Island
Oregon
New York
Maine
Ohio
Massachusetts
Kentucky
California
North Carolina
Wisconsin



There's something about the Rhode Island quarter. We passed through the state to and from Cape Cod last year. Took some time to visit Newport. It's a beautiful area. I remember the sailboats in the bay...it feels like I can see myself crossing the bridge.

Can You Imagine?

Rendering by Kilroy_60

Relationships are complex. There can be a delicate balance involved. This is something that seemed to be examined from every possible, twisted angle over the years on the Seinfeld television show. In exploring the minutia of Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine's lives, there were no blogs. Yes, the blogosphere came too late for them to be involved.

Jerry surely would have been blogging; that's becoming standard fare for comics. Whether Kramerica would be online is a no brainer. George was too neurotic not to blog. As for Elaine, the question, I think, is how many blogs would she have had.

There would have been so many Seinfeld characters with bloggable lives. I can only imagine Kramer's attorney Jackie Chiles would have a blog that's...expressive, animated, dynamic, charismatic, bombastic, sonorous!! Given the six degrees of separation, might Jerry's former flames have gotten together for a scorching hot team blog?

This is where the screen goes wavey and fades to one of the characters working on their blog. Elaine setting up the digital camera for her weekly HNT shot maybe? That would likely make for the majority of one episode all on its own.
