De-pants’d

I don’t know if the FD & FSIL are gonna do this event today, being the live up there in the “crazy city”.

Nor do I know whether the FS & (pregnant) FDIL will give it a go down this way in the “weird town”.

But whatever they do (or don’t) in the way of public participation in “Scivies Sunday, it does sounds kind of fun and entertaining.

This Event, wherever it’s organized, will/would definitely be a camera/picture/The Daily Cap kind of moment.

Where’s my camera? Could I take pictures of this Event without getting the “creep” label? (I guess that depends on who and what gets photographed…LOL) Continue reading “De-pants’d”

Just the facts, ma’am

Tim May

In reading a work-related on-line article about effective presentations, one forwarded from our marketing department with professional development intent I’m sure, I found myself nodding in agreement and chuckling with one particular exerpt…

“Never Let Facts Speak for Themselves

Facts need interpretation. According to Mark Twain, “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.” If you don’t believe this, tune in to the next political campaign. People can make facts and numbers mean almost anything. Interpret yours so that your listeners draw the same conclusions you intend.” Continue reading “Just the facts, ma’am”

A new year, a new 365 project

Tim May

Last year Limeyfish.com embarked on an ambitious “postaday” quest with this blog. And it did OK with it. Frankly, there was concern that y’all would tire of the incessant bantering and the geez-is-this-guy-always silliness. Apparently, y’all must not have minded too much being too exposed.

I came up a bit short in achieving the goal needing a minimum of one daily post. This blog had 363 posts for the year…but know this: that is a bit misleading. A mere 2 days of blogging were not missed for the year. I had several multiple-posts days in 2011. My guess is I missed out on maybe 15 days in 2011 of not getting a post posted. Dang it!

Oh well, right?

So this year another goal with this blog has been set!

Favorite “cheese” of 2011

Tim May

Believe it or not, I’m photo’d out…for the year.

And it has been yet another active year exercising the Canon, FugiFilm, and on occasion, the in-a-pinch iPhone camera.

In looking back at my 2011, I see that I did a lot of birding and flowering with the photos taken (or at least those that are my “favorites”). And I certainly threw in a few sunrise/sunset photos…after all, what would a set of my pics be without those kind of photos?

Take a look – let me know what you think. This has been a fun year and it has taken me several places in order to capture the handful of photos here and there…and along the way.

2011 in review

Tim May

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 9,300 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it. Click here to see the complete report. Continue reading 2011 in review

Some things just aren’t right

Tim May

I will be picking a fight with my many good family and friends in Kansas with this post. But even so, I think they will admit they’re not accustomed to authentic Mexican/Tex-Mex cuisine.

Found these grocery products on a recent trip to the great state of wheat and sunflowers…next trip up I’m bringing Texas tamales and enchiladas from Silva’s (in Lake Dallas).

So, so, so wrong….(isn’t this really called green peppers in vinegar?)

We were Boxing

Tim May

Yes, reluctantly I admit I’ve been around a while. I have seen things,  experienced things. I have appreciated many things and regretted things more than I ever thought I would. But after yesterday, the first-time thing I was a part of was  Boxing Day. And I am glad.

Dear friends Ettore and Oona invited us to a Boxing Day celebration last night. Since Oona is a Brit, this holiday is very much a part of her heritage. But regardless of the occasion, our two friends always welcome us into their home with a warm embrace. They are the epitome of a gracious host. Last night was special.

Unsure of what a Boxing Day night of celebration held in store (but I do now), we readied ourselves for good food, conversation, and fun at the very least. The evening was an absolute delight. Seeing our friends surrounded by their long-time friends – no, that should more appropriately read as ” their long-time family” – did nothing more than keep a smile in my heart all evening long.

It’s OK

Tim May

This YouTube humor finds its way here via the FD and her Facebook post. I discovered that when one laughs out loud this early in the morning, Scottie dogs come a scootin’ to see what in the wide, wide world of Saturday mornings is going on.

Oh yeah, the calming, and, for those of us that struggle mightily with body coordination, condescending voice of one very patient ballet teacher can be quite comforting during those times I call “oh geez”.

Heed her instruction:
