I agree with Michal too. And the volume of mail is way down
from past years. Of course I'm retired and have lots of time
on my hands. I simply skim through or delete subjects that
have little interest to me. It's a shame when the subject
line does not reflect the content.
It does not bother me one bit when people delete my paintings
of my fantastic grandkids. I really want them to know that
there really is life after teaching.

Now, I should feel guilty for renewing my Kansas license each time
with all those watercolor courses I took in Taos. It was the same
course with a new number each summer. But, I have no guilt about it
at all. I learned so much and gained so many pounds from the great
food at the Sagebrush Inn. I even renewed my Kansas license for another
six years even though I have no plans to teach again. Just keeping
my options open.
