She shuffled and dealt
I anted up—
we exchanged bits of ourselves
as easily as you'd play a hand
going all in she said I called her bluff
and gave it back in spades
I lost my shirt, she stole my heart
and never gave it back.
this doodle i drew sitting on a park bench under an arbor behind the apartment building my wife rented for 6 weeks.
the shadow people are borrowed from a later photograph, and at the bottom is a little nod to the area of town we were living, Pentagon City--a surreal Pentagon and memorial...although i'm not sure what the memeorial is; maybe airforce?

nice sketch tom...hehe, i like that kinda poker...smiles.
This is 'easier' than usual, is it?.... but, as usual, I like it! -J
No gaping mouths? You must have been very relaxed when you doodled this. I love your ditty, and so will she.
Sweet sweet you.
There is something so intimate in handwriting. It feels as though I've seen you there soft in the shadow of your wife's apartment. Very nice.

I enjoyed this tremendously. Very witty. :)
That sketch is awesome and totally unexpected. Yes, I feel that way... sue me.
The memorial is a 9/11 memorial, if it's the one with the weird-looking benches.
no--this memorial is three curved spikes rising into the air...i need to ask my wife..i want to see the 9-11 memorial, we never got around to seeing it the last ime i was there, but we did tour the pentagon, and that was pretty cool
Yeah, that's the USAF memorial. I've not been to the 9/11 one, but I'm under the impression they're pretty much within sight of each other.
Fun. I love to see handwriting samples. It's so wonderfully personal.
yep the memorial of which you speak is to the af!
whoops sorry, should read others comments...see jeff did address that.
