Orange show goodbyes and lunch

After meeting John Runnels and Louise we drove up to Orange show to collect some gas money, say Goodbyes (and thank-yous) to Jewlz et al and return the “really big (foamcore) check” I won in “97. I took Natalie to yummy Thai lunch (with cash winnings) we enjoyed feast and conversation in the cool and empty restraunt. She described her well rounded counsel of advisors for her fine arts degree which included a sculptor, architect, techie, poet. All reflect some area of interest/ aptitude and provide expert perspective and insightful critique. I sat in admiration of her openness to collaborate, her fearlessness in regard to learning and strethcing, her flexibility and of course, her brilliance.
