I recently got a new iPad, a sixth-generation iPad Pro, 12.9-inch (33 cm), colloquially known as the M2 iPad Pro, complete with digital copper plumbing, 512 GB and, by necessity, a new 2nd generation Apple Pencil. Yea, it’s amazing; it’s my 3rd iPad since I started drawing and painting on an iPad in 2013, 10 years ago!
Here are a few other digital renderings done on my new device – mostly composed in Sketch Club using iColorama, Procreate and VideoShop here and there:
Ok, this time I took my iPad to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic for an all-inclusive week at one of the most beautiful beaches on earth. Every morning we reported for beach duty. Someone would have to get up a little early to reserve some chairs under a palapa, a stationary beach umbrella made of thatch. 
Breakfasts and lunches were available at two different buffets, but dinners were different at our all-inclusive. Our group of 6 had made reservations ahead of time at five different restaurants, we returned to one of them twice. That restaurant was Limbo, and it had a wonderful bar and extraordinary bartenders. Our favorite bartender was Emanuel:
Venders came around throughout the day selling just about everything; drinks, of course, were free. That’s the all-inclusive way!
I’ll end with one of the carefully made drinks at Restaurante Limbo!
Happy anniversary to my dearest, Annyth.
As you can see HERE in these previous posts, I’ve done some digital paintings over the last few years of the late and great David Crosby, whom I’ve admired for well over half a century. I present most of them here because it’s #CelebratingCroz day on Twitter.
Annyth and I are celebrating the Christmas holidays outside Columbus, OH with family. All of the people, young and old, are creative, generous, intelligent, and talented; but there’s one who stands out above the rest: Willy, a magnificent Portuguese Water Dog.
.
The entire team here at portfoliolongo.com wishes you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a prosperous New Year. This year Annyth, a Senior Advisor, came up with the letter, inspired by well over 2,500 interstate miles. The letter was read aloud to the team members and their spouses/partners at the Holiday Party.
Note: More to come as our eastern migration materializes.

Alani’s one of four beautiful dogs, including Caula, a Miniature Dachshund; as well as Shiloh and Nova, Toy Labradoodles, who are sisters. There’s a cat too, Hula, a loyal Tabby. Now back to Alani, AKA Lani, Alonzo, A-Lonzo, who spent a lot of time on my lap. She’s a Mini Labradoodle offspring of a Rare Red Labrador and a Poodle.

By the way, Annyth and I are stopping off in Tucson, AZ to visit family, pictured below. Lilia, on the left, and Tracy (my niece), on the right, along with about 60 other un-pictured people, were celebrating the 18th birthday of their daughter, Makena.

Oh, one more action shot of Alani:
Alani, expecting…
What a wonderful visit. Annyth and I love you guys!!

Speaking of quicksand, take a look at this 1967 performance by comedian Jackie Vernon. Some of you will be old enough to remember Jackie Vernon and his use of state of the art technology in his deadpan stand-up act, which in this case revolves around quicksand.

This outrageous stunt!
Oh, and shit like this, too, constantly!
It must be miserable for those who embrace pluralism to live among those who support these hollowed-out, shit-for-brains, walking carcasses.
