Silliness stuff
Silly is right….

A first of many???
Darn tooting…I hope.
Many of you know the FD has been persistent in becoming a legitimate actor in NYC since graduating from NYU (all these abbreviations, for crying out loud…). She been at it for 10+ years, doing what she can to get noticed and polish her craft. Her professors told her it would be 10 or so years before she would get work (her body needed to catch up with her acting maturity is what I remember them telling her). Well looky here why don’t cha…it has been 10 years, she looks good (and a bit older), she has the work bit happening, now if only she could bank something for her loads of talent (patience Dad, it’s coming)!
Ham it up
For several months I’ve been asking folks what do you call people that do odd things in photographs, usually behind the primary subject’s focus. I been told they are “clowns”, “hams”, “_ _ _holes”, and “photo whores”. But of late, I’ve seen them called “bombers”…or maybe I should say the practice of stealing the scene is called “photobomb”.

Hot Spotting at Sam’s
Many things are good about Sam’s Club. You get a good product at a good price, and the people, at least those at my local Sam’s, are generally accommodating and nice to deal with…considering Sam’s employees typically have little interaction with customers (besides at the checkout stand). The one shorts-biter thing about Sam’s is you’re gonna spend some bucks to save some bucks. When was the last time you got out of the store for less than $100? Continue reading “Hot Spotting at Sam’s”
Tune, handbag, but Harry has piano magic
Don’t ask what’s up with me and wonderful piano playing…I don’t know!
Well, on second thought, maybe I do know…It’s my mother’s fault.
Worrisome things
“The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers.” – Lewis Thomas Continue reading Worrisome things
It’s Finally Friday
Woo Hoo! It is Friday!
And a special Friday it is.
Because….don’t you know…it’s…
“Celebration of the Senses Day” where everyone should stop somewhere along today’s journey and watch (see), taste, feel, smell, and listen to somthing…somewhere.
No?
Don’t want to do that?
Then there are these “holidays” to account for today: Continue reading “It’s Finally Friday”

Pictures of the Week….
9/22/2010: Austin, Texas
When I grow up, I want one of these
Hmmm, lets see…how ’bout…
maybe a Bentley, or a Mazariti, or a Mercedes
No…perhaps a Jaguar, or a Maybach, or a Triumph, or a Lamborghini
I know!
A ’41 Ford Super Deluxe, or a ’59 Chevy Parkwood Station Wagon, or a 55′ Studebaker Speedster, or a ’38 Buick Roadmaster!
Hmmm is about right…. Continue reading “When I grow up, I want one of these”
Putt for Dough
Yeah…more golf. This time clips of our talent and prowness on a golf course:
Smack down golf
OFB TR started it today. There were a few barbs trade via email…creativity was shared without a tee time reservation.
Friday’s golf outing amongst the family should be fun, interesting, and full of…well…lets just saw if history is any indication of what’s in store for the course, I will need to be a designated golf cart driver for the “young’uns” and their run to the liquor store (losers by the beer) will be sobering. Dad and his 3 sons (the old timers 0r “old farts” if you’d rather) versus 4 of his 5 grandkids (the “Young’uns). It is safe to say we talk (and Photoshop) better than we play the game.
Here are the traded smack photos for today. I must say they are kind of funny. The photo-doctoring all started with OFNi Dani’s clever and humorous talent. Continue reading “Smack down golf”
Teed Off and Ready
This is the one week of the year that I dust off my golf clubs (more like clear off the cobwebs) and slip into my golf shoes (but check for spider nests in the toes first). Golf is played twice in one week’s time: Monday in Texas, Friday in Kansas (both charity fundraisers BTW). I play twice a year, and both those tee times are in the same week.
This is the week I also seek counsel from my clergy friends to help me through the next five days. My possessed golf clubs, when used infrequently, have a way of controlling a meek personality, any kind of recreational fun, and testing one’s conviction to the 3rd commandment. Maybe if I listen to gospel music on the iPod while attempting to play this silly game might help….hmmmm

Pictures for the Week
4/9/2011: at a stop light somewhere (maybe it was Grapevine)
I must admit it does bother me some that a preachy window sticker like this one is prominently displayed in the back window of this guy’s car. Maybe it was a disgruntled mood moment for me: we were both at a standstill in our cars during rush hour traffic that was going nowhere when I saw this….
Zumba Zoey
When the FD was in town over Mother’s Day weekend a few weeks ago, we set up a twin bed for her in the living room (don’t ask…sore subject). Zoey found the accommodations to be of great convenience for her every sleeping and exercising need. Continue reading “Zumba Zoey”
Watch out for low-flying insects
An email funny was read this morning that had kindergarten kids describing “grandparents”. One kid said, “when they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars”.
I guess it’s OK to act like a grandparent (I’m not one BTW) for the time being…OK since I stop at many of the plants and bugs along the way these days.
Two Advils later
It was a “what were you thinking” lunch hour today. I inflated a flat tire and hauled my bicycle to work for a scheduled group ride. How fun, right?
Well, maybe so…kind of, sort of.
I haven’t took to the pedals in about 4, maybe 5 months. I thought “sure, I’ll go. I need the exercise for sure”. Continue reading “Two Advils later”
A Morning Get After
I haven’t had a meaningfully important 7:00 a.m. meeting in a long, long time…maybe since K-State landscape architecture construction lecture classes with DJ. Oh the agony of those! You dared not doze off in his class either, or else you got a chalked-up eraser pitched at your chest. Wait a minute…I wasn’t going there. Continue reading “A Morning Get After”
EHR: Europe is on alert
This Email Humor Received (EHR) comes from Larry the Associate from work. He prefaced the email claiming “This humor is right up your alley, Tim! Long live British humor!”. I’m not sure if that is a complement or shot – I choose “complement”. As my FS will attest, we both enjoy our British humor, especially from John Cleese. Thanks Larry! This is too funny.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wildlife
I’ve got a few wildlife pictures…all wild in their own right.
EHR: Animals…they’re really people
Now these are funny. Email Humor Received (EHR) by way of YouTube
From my buddy Joe M: I swear Mackie the Queen of Scots could have this same conversation with me…and agonizing over Zoey the Princess of Scots being in the house…hahahahahaha, oh my belly!
