Ha, just got back from my run, when my thoughts run rampant too...and I'm laughing at myself for the "tea pot." Aladdin's Lamp...duh. I realized it when I was about 2 miles into the run...I actually laughed out loud, Mac ( my dog) thought I was nuts.  You rub Aladdin's lantern and he appears and gives you a wish. Hee, hee. ( There are so many easy jokes here, but I will try to take the high road)

Ellen,

I just love the gift you were born with! What a great tribute to Richard. Your artwork is phenomenal. I see a striking resemblance - it seems to mirror your own beautiful image. You are both beautiful people soaring to the top of success!

Lady, I bow to you!!!

You are super talented!

Patricia, you are always so sweet, sincere and most of all motivating for me. I have to thank God for my talent, and thank people like you who make me want to achieve more every day. Like I said on your blog today, you are a gifted wordsmith, and you see the world in colors many would miss, if not for you pointing them out. My hats off to you!

Jill, I hope it does.... that was my goal, to make real people incorporate into my Whale Tales.

Richard, I did hold back, at least that's what you see here.... Debb and I text and chat, what we say, we'll never tell! And for the record, you had your jokes about Rogers Deed, why wouldn't we have something to say about your so caled, magic lantern.

Remember the Seinfeld episode about the "Puffy" shirt? Well, this is Richard in the "Puffy" pants! That's all I'm saying about that. :)

Your drawing of his face is unbelievable! It is him. Your talent makes me sit back in astonishment. Really. This is   such a perfect Tale for today's market and who better than Richard!

Shar, you, Debb and I are relentless. Puffy pants, and I even drew small feet? LOL

Yes, I made it look like him, even my kids asked "did Aladdin have a beard?" Then they saw Richards photo and said no, it's him! Between Debb, and Richard, I'm jumping on the video bandwagon soon, and then I'll try to catch up with stardom like you, Ms Radio Stager!

Lol. I got your text but was out with friends. I could hardly wait to see what you all wrote. Shar did add some fuel to the fire. Funny, I missed the small feet the first few times...:) :) :)

Ellen, just got back from saying hello to Richard.  Another fun "Whale Tales" and it's turning out more interesting after each comment.

Ellen, you captured Richard so well.  He does know how to fly above the crowd with his great marketing ideas.  If the two of you ever got together, I'm just sure the most successful advertising company in the world would be formed!!!!

Oh my gosh Ellen!  You all make it really hard for me to behave in my commenting but I wouldn't want to rub anyone the wrong way.  ;-).  You did a spectacular job on this (thanks for the teaser on the phone!).  I can't wait to see more!
