Is this a replacement for what a friend could hold in place, too? I don't actually know what a cotter pin is. Not much use for one in my world.

Phil actually wanted to call you, but he works on the deck during the day and he knew you had pastorly duties to attend to.

did The Phil ever think that he IS my pastoral duty. bearing one anothers burdens is part of the deal. i don't think you could use a cotter pin for holding up the beams of a deck - but he could use a pin head like me to help.

Welcome back, Cotter.

obvious association. nice.

Thanks. I think it's important that, when viewing art (particularly great art), one doesn't neglect, scoff at or otherwise overlook or overstate what may appear as obvious to the untrained eye.

i understand completely! this piece is about teenage angst in an oppressive world - again, that's obvious.

LOL! But seriously, I am NOT scoffing at your observations. (I just love subjectivity, don't you?)
