This week in my figure drawing class we have to draw from a live model. Does anyone know any one who lives near the Joliet, IL area that would model for me? He/she doesn't have to be a professional.See More

Dear Gordon,
You died yesterday and I have been a bucket of tears. I keep thinking about the night before when you thought you were having a heart attack. We should have done something about it then. You might still be alive today if we had. I think that is what you died from.
I have talked to Paula, Lori, Susan, and James. James thanked us for being good friends and wished he had seen us more often. He told me to call him even if it was just to cry.

Lissa said… Hi - I am walking in the Bay to Breaker in San Francisco. It didn't really cost that much about $50. There are many events soon I think they call it the beginning of the season. I am not an athlete anymore but this is a very good thing to do for yourself. I hope you add me as your friend.
