Sentence of the Year 2007
The JohnnyB and I were having one of those conversations this evening, and it became quite profound and deep, dare I say on the verge of philosophical.
Bear in mind that when you have a true Minnesotan for a spouse, this kind of dialogue happens once in a blue moon. (And not just any blue, mind you; Manganese Blue!).
And due to that rarity, I was trying to get the most out of it.
At some point, I asked with sheer frustration, "So, I want to understand: why do you always have to be so damn logical???".
The JohnnyB replied, "because I don't like to lose control of my - - - "
" - - - emotions?", I interrupted (hey - I'm an Israeli. When we pledge allegiance, we make a solemn commitment to never ever let anyone finish a sentence!)
"No", he continued patiently, "I don't like to lose control of my state of mind", and - hesitating - he pondered, "Um... is that the same as emotions?"
And so, to y'all who wonder why so many of my paintings have women with this look in their eyes - I hereby rest my case.

I have that look a lot too. In fact, my mother always said if I keep an expression that my face would grow that way, and it might be doing it. :-|
But it beats perky.
Perky is annoying.
Girlfriend you are cracking me up!
I would have loved to be a fly on the wall.
I rather like the "look" in her eyes. ;)

Blueberry, you and I are very similar, so it seems. And perky is false many times.
Rhonda, I suspect that if there was a fly on the wall, it would have been smacked by that look of mine. So, better not ;-)
Nava,
I love checking your blog once in awhile, you always have a way of making me laugh and smile. And because the Johnny B is my brother, I totally understand the expression on the woman's face in your painting!!
Love ya,
Jacquie

Hmmm, you philosphical discussion draught might not be exclusive to Minnesota men. I've been married for almost seven years and I can't remember 'ever' have such said discussion with wife/roommate.
And I've never even stepped foot in Minnesota.
