The Family Reunion

So our annual family reunion was scheduled for today. This would have been our 30th in a row. But things went south quickly as the heavy rains moved across the heartland of Pennsylvania, seriously flooding the length of the Susquehanna River, putting thousands if not millions out of their water-soaked homes. It takes some of the fun out of the prospects of seeing one another again, when you know that many won't be there due to "other concerns". So i've reserved a little spot here to ask you to give a thought to those who have been dealt this nasty blow.


More good news: My graphics computer has been out of commission for the last 3 weeks. This takes me totally out of the game until this coming Monday, when, i am told, i will be back on line, feverishly catching up on work 3 weeks old. The old machine took a direct hit to the motherboard during a thunderstorm one Friday evening, and sent me on a three-week holiday. However,  if memory serves me right, i had loaded up a new section with various posters for purchase. Mostly humorous and fun, they are worth, i think, a look. If you have any ideas for a poster that you'd like to see, send it along to bladimz@dejazzd.com. I'll oblidge if i can. (Here's where i'd insert a sample, but.... well, you know about my graphics computer...)


Summer is finally over, and i'm glad of it. Too many, far too many, are complaining of Summer's end, but i think it's that they are more upset that it means going back to school/teaching than loosing out on more of the "hot and sweaty". This is the doorway that leads us toward holiday after holiday after holiday. The cooler and the best time of the year. And that means gifts for others and maybe one or two for yourself. Stop by, browse, shop; i'd offer you some coffee, if i could. I have, over the last few years, built up an eclectic array of designs for holidays, birthdays, and just for-fun days.


It's been too long between entries, and i'd probably keep at it more if there were more of you following along. But, for those of you who are, and you know who you are, thanks for checking in. Please be safe, take care of your family, your loved ones and those around you, if you can.

Shame.

Shame. It's a powerful thing. A terrible thing to have to live with. And i've been living with it without even realizing it.

It's shame that has me posting today. Which works out well, because the source of my shame is the fact that i've not offered anything here since last November. Here it is the middle of February, the snow still hanging around, but slowly fading, and i'm waiting for... what?

Bakktalk on the one hand, is not really, offering anything new, except for ever-more new and exciting designs. We've been, however, foraying into some poster designs, primarily inspirational or "un-inspirational" posters. You've seen them around. Check ours out; they're fresh, they're unique and just as clever as can be. Here's a sample, in case, like me, you're just lazy enough to not bother looking for them.

We'll be adding new posters to the list going forward, and will attempt to create an eclectic array, making it

easier to find one that suits your need.

Like every other design on this site, these posters make perfect gifts for birthdays, weddings, holidays; and for fellow employees or even the boss. Maybe.

It's nice to offer another new product line here, especially since the price is right and the quality of the printing is unmatched! If anyone here has any special ideas for a poster design, feel free to send it along to bladimz@gmail.com. If you have any questions, send them along as well. I'm sure there's someone here smart enough to be able to answer it.

I feel the weight of my shame lifting from my shoulders; it was good to get this off of my chest! Meanwhile, keep in mind the holidays moving in on us and browse our impressive variety of designs. If you find one you like, and you purchase it, you will love the product and the printing and i'll be happy too!

I'm about 3 months away from being a grandfather for the very first time, but that's for another post... I wish you all good health and good times until shame once again taps me on the shoulder. Carps Di Yum!
