		<description><![CDATA[I always jump at any opportunity to further my knowledge about an artist in my collection, especially a living artist that I hold in very high regard. Emigdio Vasquez is one such artist, and I was thrilled to hear from his ex-wife who had recently completed an autobiographical book that had been in the works for 11 years and included a candid look of their married lives together.]]></description>

The complacent look on the goat's face brings a smile to mine, and I hoped it would be as enduring to my prospective love as it was to me.]]></description>

Peace shared between brothers, void of pretense. A few precious moments appreciated simply for what they were—a chance to be free.]]></description>
