40/365: Scream by h pants explosion (on creative hiatus-see profile), on Flickr School started for the Pie Dudes last week Wednesday, two days after we returned from a week long vacation in Ashland, OR and attended several plays at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival.  More later.  In fact, that seems to be a bit of […]

When I asked (then emailed) for your input on the memory photo compositions, you came through and helped me with a big decision.  It made it easier to get the job done, as you can see with the end results I’ve posted below.  The size of the photos

Gee, that was quite a long “momentary absence” now wasn’t it?  Kind of like back when I was an AOL 1.0 user and they’d notify members of a system shut-down in “X” number of minutes.  Only their time clocks were much different than the rest of the world’s.  It could be up to an hour […]

In listening to this evening’s news, there was a piece about “lawmakers addressing the increasing rise in gas prices.”  My ears perked up and I got sidetracked from writing my scathing letter to the camp we were going to send the Pie Dudes to but after a series of very misfortunate events, pulled out before […]

Today consisted of scheduling and filling out forms for summer events and activities.  Why anyone needs my email address on an emergency form is beyond me.  I’m guessing it’s for notifying parents of an injury that didn’t result in emergency medical treatment.  Another portion that was disturbing was the unilateral release of photos, video footage, […]
