Speaking of hunt, the bat was found and safely returned to the outdoors. I was asleep, but our bat-hunting cat found out where it was hiding (some insulation in the basement) and my brother got it out with just a pair of gloves.

Good luck typically. Ever think of freelancing though too?

I am volunteering some time for an art show, but I'm working with a person who is so unbelievably condescending and snooty in their e-mails, I'm just barely managing to keep from imploding. He does not read my e-mails thoroughly, nor answers anything directly. Instead he, undermines everything I suggest or explain as how some things are traditionally or professionally done for an art show. I'm holding my tongue, but if he sends me one more that says, "Did you do this? Did you do that? Remember, you'll have to...." Grrrrrrrrrr. Pancake you and hang the pancaker yourself is what is what I'll be saying! I mean seriously....he says, "You'll have to remember to bring a hammer and some nails." WHAT? OH NO, not those! I can't use scotch tape to hold up 30 pounds of frame, glass and art? Sheesh! On top of it, he wants everything done to his vision, but throws in a disclaimer about not knowing how art should be hung. WTF. It's not even that hard.
Rant over.

use the hammer and nails to hang him on the wall. Put a little plaque under him with "Pain In The Ass" engraved on it, you're name as the artist.
