I'd say the Castro regime has killed more people than they've helped. And given the number of people who've risked their lives and everything they own to escape Castro's Cuba, I'd say there are quite a few Cubans who would strongly disagree with you. As to Ahmadinejad, if the mullahs who put him in power have any common sense what so ever, they'll dump him and install someone with at least a modicum of sanity. You want looney - Ahmadinejad is in a class by himself. Hello JesusinOz,

Sorry but no dictator for life has ever done his people any good. I’d say the Castro regime has killed more people than they’ve helped. And given the number of people who’ve risked their lives and everything they own to escape Castro’s Cuba, I’d say there are quite a few Cubans who would strongly disagree with you.

As to Ahmadinejad, if the mullahs who put him in power have any common sense what so ever, they’ll dump him and install someone with at least a modicum of sanity. You want looney - Ahmadinejad is in a class by himself.

You know I have no really good answer for that. At this point I guess the whole creative process aspect of art is far more interesting to me than the presentation component, which is something I really do need to work on. I'm going to be the Science Guest of Honor at next year's Duckon Science Fiction Convention and am sort of committed to putting on a show there. While a decent selection of my Mars-related work is online at www.marsartgallery.com, my astronomical art has only been seen by my fellow IAAA (International Association of Astronomical Artists) members and the rest, not at all except for some pieces I had in the Windycon art show several years ago. These pieces will eventually see the light of day once I get the chance to complete work on my artsnova.com web site, now woefully behind schedule due to competing projects. As always Lori it's nice to hear from you and I hope to see you at Windycon. Jim Hi Lori,

I went to three local cons last year and saw many of the same pieces-- if nothing else your work would be new. Glad to see you blogging up a storm, and looking forward to seeing you at Windy, Lori It’s probably a bit late now, but why _wouldn’t _ you exhibit in the art show?
