The Arrow Has Turned

Yes, Charles is playing with idioms again. It's a habit of his. It's not exactly 'in the bag' as to whether this is a positive (arrow UP) or a negative (arrow DOWN.) Maybe it's both, in a round about way. I received my Christmas gift recently. Uh, it's to myself---otherwise, excepting the friends who visited Christmas Day, CJ would have had none. Even Santa sent a digital IOU for a lump of coal. It is Seasons 1 and 2 of The Saint, starring Roger Moore. I had a 'collection' of that series but, upon research, found that it consisted of Seasons 5 and 6 only. So I went scrounging for the others to complete the collection. I had enjoyed watching Danger Man/Secret Agent, I Spy, and The Avengers featuring Diana Rigg so much that I wanted to have and watch all of The Saint as well. Anyway, the packaging from the guy on EBay lacked a little to be desired, consisting of a non-bubble protected envelope (thin paper) with some thin styrofoam art board wrapped around front and back---with no protection top and bottom. Yes, the case arrived with a piece broken off. I promptly repaired same with my trusty viscous Super Glue. Then I cut down the art board into two pieces and proceeded to draw and paint on one. This is a roughly 6 by 5.75 inches gel pen drawing with acrylic paint and color pencil on that art board. It's Original Jones Art trying to stay out of that rut here in northwest Austin, Texas.
