Couldn't resist the urge

[Patrick]

on Tues to stop and get an easel, canvas, and paint. After surgery to remove an ear I had an unresistable urge to start painting portraits. Maybe someday soon I'll have my own museum.

I've heard that several times in my line of work.

It's almost never a good excuse, and a poor criminal defense.

After surgery to remove an ear

In my 67 years, I have never heard of that being done. Please explain if you don't mind.

Begs the question....if losing an ear causes a person to want to paint, what if you lose another appendage, what does that cause one to want to do?  OK....I'm talking about fingers or a hand you perverts.

Now I get it, I'm a little slow lately.

I went thru a bout of throat cancer [ SCC/HPV ] a few years ago.  It was misdiagnosed for 2 years until I found a doctor that had actually gone to school and studied medicine. But by that time it was stage 4.

Now the same type returned [ they claim not related, of course] and showed up in the ears. This only went improperly diagnosed for 6-8 months. I think this time its all on me, I said no sun was a deal breaker. I guess now I'll be wearing the big-ass hats.
