This evening I went to an art exhibition at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center, where a friend of mine, Ron Cheek, was having his work shown. Several other artists were also on display, as well. Ron's wife, Jessica, is a good friend of my sister, Elaine, and it was her (Jessica's) bible study group that stunned my family by providing a veritable feast at Don's funeral. Elaine and Hal were at the exhibition, and she took a photo of Ron and me:

The one on the left puts me in mind of my friend, Bill's, gallbladder when it was taken out, only his didn't have spikes all over it. The shape's pretty much the same, however.
There was an auction going on, and this bit of photographic "art" caught my attention; who on earth wants a photo of feet in their house?
I hope Ron's work begins to get the recognition it deserves.
