the picture framing racket + my wife and her boss

why in the hell is framing something so expensive? i do have to give the business model kudos though. you can't get a quote for your job until you spend a fair amount of time deciding on a frame, mats, etc. When the big number is finally presented - you have spend so much time there, you don't want to look cheap, and you don't feel like dragging your picture around so...... you say 'oh, what the hell.' Brilliant!

On a side note:

oh bill (and angela) - I could understand "Seymore Butts" but 'Richard Kennedy' - you can do better than that!
