the in-laws will be here in 4 hours. help. i love my in-laws, they can just be a bit� intense at times. can�t say that we are their idea of a dream family� a couple of starving artists who put dreams before dollars. we�re broke but making cool art & raising our son to be an artist. can you see where the trouble could start? my father-in-law is a very smart businessman who has started, run, & sold several successful businesses. he has the knack for taking an idea & turning it into gold. he also thinks of poetry, writing, & music as good hobbies. i think of business as a good hobby. they will want to know our plans & i don�t even know what i want for lunch, never mind what i want to be when i grow up. but they will get to spend time with their grandson & daughter & get to see the in-laws so, all in all, things will be fine. but it still feels like the calm before the storm. last time we saw them was rough. it was at thanksgiving & things did not go smoothly. a lot of things got brought to the forefront & we left on a less then pleasant note. there has been a lot of talking between then & now, but the tension is still in the air. i�m hoping that things will have worked themselves out so that this can be a good visit for everyone. think good thoughts. with that in mind, please remember that got a ton of email done last night. still have more to go, but at least i feel like i�ve got a handle on it now. would have rather spent the night painting but perhaps i�ll do that on friday night when everyone is at the daily mouse show. or i could just catch a nap. we�ll see. still have the strong-box to deal with so i should get back to work. more later. be well
