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:




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

  /                       `\                     \
