Hello to all my millions of readers! I'm back after a bit of a hiatus. I have been working on a dvd project for some time with Art Therapist Pamela Hayes. Pamela travels the country giving seminars teaching other therapists and anybody who is interested about how to use art to heal grief and loss. The video above is the trailer to the educational documentary and is available on Amazon:

This is how it's described on Amazon: This inspiring, documentary style, educational DVD shows creative art techniques used to aid in the process of healing grief. The therapeutic art techniques are demonstrated and explained through real client case studies. This DVD can enhance the work of Psychologists, Counselors, Social Workers, Teachers, Creative Therapists and benefit anyone who has experienced their own loss. If you or anybody you know can benefit, please click on the link or pass it along!

I'm headed to a concert tonight with the family! I'll try to get my blog going again (ok, BeFrank!) :) Here's a little Hart Noir until then:

Hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving! We certainly did, though we had to accomodate Danny's strict dietary guidelines:

Off to Vegas in the morning! Woohoo! I've decided if I win the jackpot I will use the winnings to build Hartman a cathouse made entirely of catnip. Wish me luck!

After a long day of maintaining my politically nuetral work face, I met up with my cousin Alissa in her Marina Del Ray hotel room to celebrate! We concluded the best way to express our elation was to jump up on down on the bed like we did when we were kids! I had a lot of pent up celebrating to do! I can only imagine what the neighbors thought. lol! After we exhausted that outlet, we stayed up and talked for a long time (even though she had to get up at 5am! do'h!). I was cautiously optimistic for an Obama victory, but never imagined it would be such a landslide. Incredible! Indiana! Virginia! PA, OH and FL! As soon as he won OH I knew the game was over. What a fantastic night!

The one dissapointment of the evening was the passing of Prop 8. I am confident this nonsense will be overturned in time.

Gotta get to work now!

My Dad is in town for a visit! We went to the bookstore last night to buy books to take to the beach and read. Guess which book in the $3.99 or less bin we did NOT invest in! hehe

Mom and Dad are famous!! I found them in this old educational film:
