I think I made the contractors mad this morning...they all turned their backs on me (and walked away)

My FD, the Internet Sensation

Go check out the FD! Tiff’s webseries acting debut is online as of this past Thursday. Episode 1 (11 more to go) introduces the cast of characters. For those of you that don’t know my “Favorite Daughter”, she’s the one in the gray sweater/gray shirt…that says “I’d rather chew glass” right at the start. And after watching, if you’re so emotionally moved and/or financially inclined, there’s their “kickstarter” page link right below the video….

Personally, I think Tiff did an outstanding job, but then what else would a “pops” say? She’s always had a natural Lucille Ball quality about her acting, as well as a Meryl Streep when it comes time for those Academy Award winning roles! What she does with this character is so completely out-of-character of her personality, I laugh to myself (and others) each time. You go ahead and just watch it…see for yourself. Go ahead…do it, I’ll wait……………

I bet cha you’re gonna agree with her old man on this one. Chip of the ol’ block that gurrrrl is, huh? (probably more likely I’m a chip off the ol’ daughter’s block…not that I live vicariously through either of my kids or anything)

Episode 1 was the group introduction, now each subsequent webisode will now focus on each character.  I will keep y’all posted as each episode is released, especially the one that is the FD’s character.

EDITORIAL COMMENT: turn down the volume or use your headphones…the dialogue is street-worthy and the language is colorful.

So help me here. What would be the designer's inspiration to do crazy-goofy in carpet patterns? Why do "they" do this? I tried "lame" patterns on a school art patio (of all places) and the architect thought I had clean-snapped my twig.

I would one day like to meet this designer (or any hotel conference center carpet designer for that matter)...just to ask if the creative process involved the smoking of cigarettes without any writing on them.

The Today-Yesterday’s Concrete Daily Cap(s) (60)

Today: must have been break time...or they needed more concrete

Yesterday: the guy in charge of keeping kids off and out of the new concrete must have taken a break before the concrete hardened....

Whoa! Have you ever done this? Take a closeup picture of your eyeball? You really gotta hold the camera steady...and whatever you do, know that blinking will definitely mess up the shot! And for the few of y'all that will ask, "no, I haven't been sipping' on the single malts lately...it's the dang new contacts prescription, I swear it is."

I pretty sure I got behind the Jetson's during this morning's workday commute, or so their vehicle shadows against the barrier wall might seem to indicate. Except...these guys with their midsize sedans weren't floating and or making soprano-pitched beep-beep sounds.

The Maybe Daily Cap (51)

32 years ago I started singing "You Are My Sunshine" to my baby girl. Whenever she would fuss, I would sing. And miraculously she would stop...most likely from disbelief of such a horrific sound coming from her "pops". As an infant, as a toddler, as an adolscent, as a teenager, as a high school senior, as a college student and grad, as a long-distance caller, and still to this day, I sing her that song! Happy Birthday Sweets! "...you make me happy when skies are gray". (this morning's sunrise pushing away the clouds BTW)

Some days I enjoy being the long-neck guy swimming against the crowd, and then there are some days I shouldn't take so much dag-gum pleasure in doing just that.....

Ran into some old friends tonight. I didn't even have to ask, but I did...they're doing just fine

The Late Daily Cap (42)

I am yesterday-late because of computer issues, learning, and just because….

So there I sat...thinking there is plenty of cameras around this place to photograph the kids...yet no one thought about taking pictures of birthday party photographers taking pictures of the birthday party partiers...that is until this picture presented itself in front of my lens.

The Daily Cap in Peril

So last night I got an iMac – the smart alec FS asked whether Mr. Gates knew about this. It was a decision mostly made due to something about a having 98% full PC hard drive, enduring a lengthy (and frightful) “windows startup repair” exercise run the night before, and a mouse that no longer moused…

This morning, after re-edge-u-ma-cating myself in keyboard keystrokes to make software work, I started the process of “migrating” my iTunes from the old to the new computer. You think I have enough music?

With this exercise in computerese, my The Daily Cap photo may be delayed today y’all…but wait, this may be my “The Daily Cap” today – hmmmmmmmm

And if I remember it right, that 'Ol' Blue Eyes" song goes: "when we're out together, chomping cheeky-monkey to cheeky-monkey". OK so maybe I don't remember the words exactly, but I bet it matters little to these butt-to-butt Longhorns...and the tune can still stay the same

The Kitchen Pit

I’m gonna just go ahead right here, right now and make it official (as if that’s really necessary): our kitchen remodel project is our very own version of “The Money Pit”.

The Daily Cap (25)

Down by the boat docks this morning...after a big 4" rain...these guys all have their head underwater... that is except for the one guy that obviously has been hanging out with the marina dog too much...do ducks have ears?

The Daily Cap(s) (18)

Here's one reason I have for not doing personal trainers. Why is it, more times than not, these guys act like they have little time for this and something better awaits them elsewhere? All us poor plokes out here want to do is try to fit back into last summer's clothes....

"Yup...you guys are taking too long! I'm outta here! Go ahead and keep doing what your doing..."

The Daily Cap (9)

My cluttered (home) office...is it reminiscent of a clutter mind? I like to think not. Can we say it's just a permanent sign of temporary creativity? All I'm missing are the Royal Scotties that frequent this gem of a sanctuary. It really is kind of an eclectic mix of function, novelty, and mess huh?
