Not Exactly a Subject for the Sabbath

I was going to post a photo of some beautiful avocados cut in half and ready to go in an amazing guacamole, all laid on on sheets under the shade in Central Park, but I thought this picture was a little more interesting. It was a total accident including the megahunk in this photo of my friend Michelle Buteau. This picture is actually a part of a sequence that shows her playing some mean ...

Whew!

Did anyone catch this classic spelling bee moment? This kid ended up winning it all, and I was so glad he was there to relieve some tension. What a great kid. Let us consider the "so many different ways" numbnut could be spelled, if, in fact he had gotten that word instead: numbnut numnut nummnutt numnutt numnutte nummenut numbenut numbnutt plus others, I didn't feel like doing the factorial...

Reminders Not to Forget the Reminders

Sometimes when I'm not at home I get little ideas for stuff to write about. Sometimes sticky-notes are within my reach, and I use those to record the ideas. Last week, or maybe was it was the beginning of this week, I put together this short list:   The thing is, I don't remember what these items are supposed to remind me of. Let's see if I can walk through this. Well, I do know about my ...

My Friends. I Think I'll Keep Them.

Because rarely does a week go by without several of their home towns being featured in News of the Weird. (1) A 76-year-old Baptist minister was found dead in Clarksville,Tenn. , in March after he had tried to pull a goat back into a fenced-in area of his property; apparently, the goat had resisted the slip knot,and somehow the animal’s jumping had wound the rope around the minister’s feet ...

Homework

  I showed Sarah this photo when she was here, and she must have stared at it for five minutes. She kept going on and on about it, and on, and I was starting to feel a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, but I have warmed up to the idea that I was a pretty cute kid. I mean, look at my mom. Yeah, that's her, the one who looks like she's 12. Striped turtleneck. Totally cute, right? This is ...

What is this, with the tube and tip and ink? And you hold it? to write? on paper? Huh?

gibbous moon

  So I have this lens to go with my camera. I was scared to use it. I didn't use it for a long time. Then I used it today. I didn't know the lens would let me focus on the man in the moon's lopsided face. I'm not scared to use it anymore.  I took a trip up to Fort Tryon Park after work this evening. Those photos will be under the set named " Nature ."

I keep missing sunset, but dusk was more than enough.

   Click on it. I've added to the New York City set.
