"Best In Show" -- Lorlee Bartos photo wins in Texas

This photo, created by our classmate Lorlee Bartos, won "Best in Show" at the Texas State Fair last summer. It was printed on tee shirts and sold. Lorlee also won a first place for another photo you can find elsewhere on this blog.
Despite threats and encouragement, Lorlee never did write an official bio for the web site. (In that way, she's just like most of the rest of you.) Her latest excuse is that Tom Obert's Christmas letter was so well done no one else will submit anything. Like Obert, Bartos is a lifetime DFLer, so she particularly enjoyed his contribution. "I watched George Bush in Texas when he was a third rate governor," she opines, "and believe me, there hasn't been any improvement. I lament the divisiveness he and Karl Rove have visited on our country" Her solution to world problems? "Let's bomb them with butter, education and good will."
In other news, Lorlee has entered the totally new kitchen she designed in a Better Homes and Gardens competition. Guess we'll have to wait to find out what that's all about.
Lorlee was somewhat glum about the annual Frog report (you know kiss a thousand before you find the prince) which this year reported that we were probably too old to keep searching the swamps -- since the number of human frogs just like their amphibian counterparts seem to be dwindling.
