    Kate, I love your sense of humor and will share your funny bears cartoon on my blog, if that’s okay with you, as well as your interesting bio. The post will be included in my next newsletter. I also signed up to receive your daily cartoon.

    BTW, I spent 3 months in Melbourne in early 2001. After living many months in southeast Asia, it reminded me of being back home where I had grown up in Montreal, Canada. It was a relief to be back in western civilization at that time.

    Thanks for sharing your creative humor with us. It’s a fun way to start the day.

    Ken
