I, too, once changed my life while eating pizza in an outdoor cafe while in Florence, Italy. Mine was more of an existential eating experience, where I proclaimed I would never ingest Ellio’s again. We have so much in common.

By the way, I have a new name and address - same ole me though (shut up). Please update your blogroll and come by for a visit sometime.

I was best friends with my painter until he had one of his guys do touch up in my daughter’s creamsicle-colored room, and he used the maize color in our bedroom, resulting in puke green patches on my daughter’s wall. Turns out, the guy was color blind.

Amy - No. Any cosmetologist who considers themselves in the same category as a painter should be forced to give neck rubs the rest of their life.

Jacquie - Then you must be your own best friend.

Joel - I don’t think my love for your grandfather should be negated just because I don’t have a picture of him. I love lots of people whose pictures I don’t have.

If you really loved him, you’d already have his picture up there! (Or were you just asking because you needed a better picture, not thinking his current shot really captures his painterly essence?)

I’m best friends with my painter too. You see, I do all my own painting, and yes, it IS an ego thing.

At times I will also allow (yes, allow, in the world of psychology, thats what we call “reverse psychology”) my best friends to become my painters.

How do you feel about cosmetologists who paint fingernails and toenails for a living? Are you a best friend to them, too?

Joel - I DO love your grandfather. Will you send me a picture of him for my “Wall of Painters Who I Could Have Been Best Friends With”?

How are you with painters who paint pictures instead of houses? Or painters of the town, red?

FYI, you would’ve loved my grandfather — he painted houses for a living!
