I'm just a wee bit aggravated that the Democratic nominee hasn't been chosen yet and the Republican one has. I hit a block in my creativity which I think(finger's crossed) has worked itself out. I did finish the Leap, but I mounted it on poster board and can't put the frame back on. Perhaps tomorrow. I have to go back to the Y and find my self AGAIN.

I'm very excited that baseball is BACK, today is the first day in my little town that feels like SPRING and well Obama has basically won the Democratic nomination(if Hillary doesn't steal it, sorry Hill fans). I worked a little bit on the leap, just putting on finishing touches which are background I'm not sure I should have bothered with, boring as watching ...
