Halloween 2011: The Ballerina

 

Fortunately, not everyone is so eager to get all grown up and on with their lives.

Halloween 2011: The Knight & the Witch

It's hard to believe this was the 12th Halloween for Emily and the 9th for Adam. They're growing up too fast.

good for you for trying anyway

Genius hilarity from stupidity.

Dear Photograph

Dear Photograph,
There has always been a little superhero hiding, somewhere, in all of us. It’s what you do with your powers that makes you fly.

Free Fallin'

 

Here's a fresh take on my favourite song by one Thomas Earle Petty. I believe Mr. Mayer acquits himself quite well, no?

Dear Photograph,
Twenty years later, I still look to my dad to fix my skates when they are broken. I wouldn’t want to look to anybody else.

Herman Cain ad

 

I'm posting this political ad quickly because I suspect, and I expect, that it will be pulled down very shortly. It is, quite simply, the worst ad I have seen in years.

I hope Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Hermain Cain gets the GOP nomination.

Fare Thee Well, Blog Post

Lying in bed last night, I thought of a great idea for a post and, somewhat unusually for me, I couldn't get to sleep so I just laid there and wrote it out entirely in my mind.

One of the rare good ones; it was funny, poignant and actually made me anxious to start the day.

Now it's gone. No clue where it went, I checked my other pants, my wallet, my conscience, my ego, my coat & hat. Nada.

Gonzo.

So goodbye, exquisite post, we'll always have last night.
