    I apologize. I’ve been remiss in posting cool design stuff but I’ve been in the hospital since Dec.6 with a broken hip/leg. I have my IPad w/me, but I’ve been distracted by current events.

    I promise I’ll catch up when I’m able.

    As a Christmas gift one of my designer friends made this book for me me and the family.

    Sorry to hear about that, John.

    The book is an amazing encyclopedia with 49 pages of 'forward thinking' all in one place.
    Very sorry to hear you are in the hospital but hopefully great care will see you through this challenging time!
    The story about your Cadillac Allante design that you nailed without any help is an absolute classic... ;)

    Thanks. Once I’m out of here I plan to continue my story. The Allante’ debacle will be one of the chapters.

    Come on, John. Pull yourself together. :)

    Sorry to hear about the injury. I hope you're not too uncomfortable while you're healing. Get well soon!

    That's a cool book! :cool:

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Thanks, Andrew, you sound like my wife now! “Get up off your a$$ and keep moving” Yes dear I know but it ain’t easy!

    Anyway, it’s been a very slow recovery filled with ups and downs. Just can’t wait to get out of this Rehab facility. The goal now is to go home end of next week. We’ll see how that works out, but it won’t be soon enough.

    Onward and forward.

    Huh. Turns out if you do a mash up of a preposterously ugly car and a ridiculously ugly car you get...an absurdly ugly car. That is progress!
