Solid partner, honest to a fault, up for anything and always psyched to climb. Willing to hang out with the craziest folks, and never smokes your herb, bums cigarettes or drinks your beer...
Also, smart as a whip and a great artist.
I think I might have a Skippy picture or two, as well.

Excellent! sending huge appreciation to Miss Maid. She's lined her world with some awesome talents of many different colors, marine biology, art and stained glass, rope tricks and now the delightful Mr E is whirling around there too. Sweet! She'll keep you intelligently engaged.
If you get a chance check out the Dickens Fair in SF. She's there.

Thanks for the nice thoughts and compliments.
She makes most of her own outfits, and she started the Annual Huntington Tea Event with her friend Jennifer.
Did I mention she just pretty much wants to climb all the time? We climbed 56 routes in Potrero Chico on our 10-day Honeymoon, and recently climbed 6 days in a row at Smith.
She can burn out a 6-hour drive without blinking on 2 diet cokes and some Red Vines.
Where's Cosmic? Those two are thick as thieves. Calling Cosmic!

Well done MisterE. Nice post! Fun to get to meet you two (if only briefly) at the Big Rock get-together. BTW, picked up a copy of your Sedona guide when I was in Flag for Turkey Day. Nice work! Oh, and Mrs. Maid... fun to learn about your Dickens fair participation. My niece has been an active participant for years.

Not sure of the date, but the back side of this article from the SF Chronicle has an advert for The Last Samurai with TCruise.
Want you to know you are STILL appreciated, but even moreso upon your stint as MisterE's co-host at the camp during Facelift.
I especially want to attend the Dickens Fair so I can see the resemblance between yourself and Catherine Dickens.
It's probably just me, and it's probably just a superficial thing, but DANG, this looks just like JustTheMaid, almost.
God rest ye, merry, hostess with one of the mostest nicest husbands around.
Have fun at the Fair!
It's beyond my ability to present the relative, but here's a relatively entertaining Dickens, a bit quirky, but I'm sure you've seen the quirkiest.
Children, gather round...Mr. Dickens is due to expound.

Thanks everyone. Yup - finally back on the Eastside. Long drive around the south end to avoid the storm yesterday. Didn't want to deal with snow with the truck fully loaded with booth and merchandise. Happy to be out of the Bay Area gloom.
Been nursing the most persistent cold I've had in years. It will be nice to have some down time with the husband. The cat , however hates me at the moment. Major cold-shoulder.
PS was really awesome to get down south a couple time for some sunshine climbing with Phyl and some of my high desert homies.

I don't have a website any longer. I stockpile stuff all year for the Dickens Fair and only do Face-to-face sales these days. If anyone is ever in Bishop and wants to pop by the studio they can email me: m.skip.vasquez@gmail.com
