Cluster them into a single post (as seen below) and tag other friends so that they might do the same.1 January, 2009The first day of the New Year is unique: it is the only day of the year that we awake brimming...

A Day...
The Voice of God boomed down from Heaven, and He said, “GO TO MASS”, and so I did, but that is not why I’m writing today. I’m amazed by the Michael Jackson drama. I am not amazed that he died; he wasn’t in the best health. I am dumbfounded by the ferocious display of greed, which, as it so happens, can be rivaled only by the act of throwing an open packet of Hebrew National wieners into a pit filled with ravenous lawyers.Do not try that at home. We raised ravenous lawyers before the laws were passed in our state. It was very profitable, but now you can be sent to jail for simultaneously...

Snapshots From Above
.JPG)
I have survived the mission (of course!) and am penciled in for one or two more tomorrow. While I can not share photographs from the mission, I can share a few personal snapshots that I took between grids. Enjoy. This is a fuzzy snapshot captured shortly after takeoff. It does have glare from the back window, but I wasn't about to open the little bird's hatch for personal purposes....

July Greetings
.JPG)
The thunder rolls about like a stray bowling ball, a precursor to a chilly downpour; I’ve paused in my writing to contemplate my possibly precarious (and weather controlled) fate during tomorrow’s mission.A quick check of Weather Underground reveals little data. Rain, overcast. The phone rings. As adept as a classical mind reader, our fearless leader calls (which means that I don’t...

One Upon a Time...
Once upon a time, when I was much smaller and less inclined to pay bills and taxes, I would crawl into a pampas grass clump armed only with a blanket and a can of bug spray that I had stolen from the garage.The blanket was my hobo’s bundle and it contained everything that a child would need in order to survive in the Wilds. There was always a book but the bundle was usually deficient...

Basement War
I have been MIA for some time, owing to the copious amount of basement cleaning/work that needed completing. Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated although I was almost eradicated by sixty pounds of dryer lint.We are almost done. We have been almost done for a week. I am very pleased to announce that we have a very large clearing on one side of the basement, as well...

Home Sweet Chaos
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven,...

Pittsburgh Wine Festival
The Pittsburgh Wine Festival is this weekend. It's not one specific event and you can always choose where you wish to spend your time. You can listen to seminars or make reservations at restaurants participating in the fun. I do not know if we'll attend. It would be lovely to.Link: http://pittsburghwinefestival.com/content/news/news-1....

Lullaby of Blogland
I've started a photography blog. I was torn between having a black background here or starting a different blog specifically for photographs (which always display nicely on dark backgrounds.) You can find Lullaby of Blogland at: http://lullabyofblogland.blogspot.com/. I will publish my Sepia Scenes photographs from there as well as attempt to keep current with my macro.Thanks so much...

Musing Behind My Office Window
My head is throbbing today. This has nothing to do with alcohol. I must have clenched my teeth last night. Splendid.There is a lovely spring morning unfolding outside my window. The industrious bees were already humming around my dogwood, drifting amongst the flowers in search of choice pollen. It’s an entomophilous dance that has take place ever since flowering plants made their...

Sepia Scenes | Sepia Spring!
The Teach inspired these. It's just a simple sepia with a little contrast boosting. Images of our home. If you look closely, you'll see Better Half (the Husfriend) and our greyhou...

Suives moi!
She followed Uncle down the empty alley, her heart skipping beats and her knees shaky as she watched his hunched form lumbering at a fast clip. Her small legs had some trouble keeping up and he would turn back and snarl, “Suives moi!” each time she lagged. “Follow me!” and “Hurry!” and occasionally “worthless child!” were whips that prompted her to trudge on. Mama’s face floated...

Sepia Scenes: Garden of the Gods
.jpg)
AnnieElf introduced me to Sepia Scenes. My first entry is a photograph from Garden of the Gods in Colorado. Mind you, I don't have Photoshop programs loaded onto my new computer (yet) so this (bland) rendition is via Windows Live Photo Gallery.This was taken "on the fly" with a Fujifilm Finepix S1000 using the built in autofocus and picture stabilization. I used my steering wheel...

There are some things that no one should look upon at the start of their day: Dead baby ducklings that have been flattened by an asphalt truck, frock-clad psychopaths named Norman, and anything with Paris Hilton’s quickly decaying face plastered onto it would all be prime examples of Things I Do Not Wish To See.Ah Paris, that hopeless twit. How maddening it must have been for her...
