A while back I saw this neat little picture in a photography magazine
and in order to draw it I needed to start with a heart, so I made a
big but simple one:



        __,--'''''--,_        _,--'''''--,__
     _-'              `\    /'              `-_
   ,'                   `\/'                   `,
  /                                              \
 /                                                \
(                                                  )
(                                                  )
(                                                  )
 \                                                /
  \                                              /
   `.                                          .'
     \                                        /
      `\                                    /'
        `\                                /'
          `\                            /'
            `\                        /'
              `\                    /'
                `\                /'
       Normand    `\            /'
       Veilleux     `\        /'
                      `\    /'
                        `\/'



Then came the tough part!  I think the picture illustrates that often,
love and friendship go hand in hand.  So without further introduction
here is my ASCII version of the picture:




        __,--'''''--,_        _,--'''''--,__

   ,'                   `\/'                   `,
  /                       `\                     \
 /                `\        `\                    \

So am I.  Although there are millions of users out there who still 
haven't seen what the ASCII art world considers as old.

I'm sending a few this year, most of which are re-hashed versions of old 
art, but my favourite one is one which is an illustrated story of 
about... lots of pages.  It has about four or five pics in it, some of 
which I'm tempted to put into my web page after Wednesday.  I also felt 
that this style of thing is also a lot more personal, and has more 
depth.
