Nov from Kate, Troy, and Sharon





Sharon wrote that her design was her first attempt at linocutting. She liked the design and cutting - but was not as fond of the printing part. Me, too. I'm fine until I get ink on my fingers and then I'm ready to quit. It seems like such an insignificant thing -- but stopping to clean up in the middle of the process seems to break my train of thought.

And then --- I don't know why I get such a charge out of Rachael's line - and especially when others use it - but this made my day when it arrived - it's a portion of the note on the back of the card.


What it is about *deeply regret* that tickles my funny bone. It must be the juxtaposition of deep feelings tied to those times when we know we could make something better - but we have to assess the situation and let some things go.

Does the brain surgeon ever mumble in the middle of his day, "I deeply regret how much of that tumor I attempted to remove." If we have any brain surgeons on board, let us know.
