Masks

Friday, December 4th, 2009


Here are some native Eskimo masks. They must have had great Halloween parties back then. Great Art taken in that fantastic Canadian museum during our Alaska cruise. Of course. Featuring an obscure cameo by the Loyal Blogger. Part of my famous Statue series.

Another Extreme Short Shrift night. We went to LRN2’s Christmas organ concert (it was very nice this year, and he did a wonderful job) right after I got home from work and we ate dinner, and it’s getting late now. So Extreme Short Shrift.

I believe the weekend plans have already been mentioned, so I’ll just add a new job opportunity for my Loyal Readers to look into: alien greeter. Somebody has to Take Them To Our Leader.

And I’ll top that off with another shocking example of candy and gum violence: bubble gum bandits.

See you on Monday.

Angry statue

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009


Here’s an angry statue. I wouldn’t want to meet this guy in the proverbial dark alley. Although, who knows? He might be a lot of fun. Appearances can be deceiving, you know. Great Art taken in Canada during our recent Alaska trip. Part of my famous Statue series.

Another normal day. Got a few things done, left a few for tomorrow. Can’t complain, as usual.

LRN4’s out this evening getting some visiting teaching done. I hope it’s fun. She did a bit of very impressive detective work this morning, looking for another of her visiting teaching people who had kind of disappeared. She figured out where she is! Good job, LRN4! The Sherlock Holmes of Lardville.

I read of some horrifying food violence today, so we’ll end with that: cheesesteak violence. Some things definitely should be eaten rather than being used as weapons. Why couldn’t he get violent with a bologna sandwich, like normal people?

See you tomorrow.

Angry pumpkin

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009


Here are LRN4 and LRN12 with their Angry Pumpkin on Halloween. LRN2 made a Happy Pumpkin but, sadly, I didn’t get any pictures of it. It was really neat, though. Photo courtesy of the exclusive iPhone-cam. Part of my famous Statue series.

No post yesterday. I was sick. There was plenty of time for blogging, but I wasted most of it sleeping. Not that I regret that. I feel much better today; thanks for asking.

Normal work day. Got a few things done, left a few for tomorrow. As usual. The train wasn’t very full in either direction, what with Veterans’ Day.

Speaking of which, Happy Veterans’ Day! Hug a veteran near you.

We have some particularly shocking Food Violence news tonight: they’re eating airplanes. Fortunately, duct tape can fix anything. Literally.

See you tomorrow.

Brown horse

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009


Here’s a gallant steed. Picture taken on the Great America carousel and part of my famous Statue series.

Fine day. I worked fewer hours than usual because of a stake assignment, as discussed previously. I have another identical assignment tomorrow night. Looking forward to it. I’m making callings like crazy right now.

Otherwise, commuted, worked, commuted, did stake work, came home, ate, blogged, went to bed ( in a few minutes).

Lots of activity in the comments these days – thanks! A few comments on the comments:

LRN3 has a great summer job idea. I think there’s opportunity for all the college-based Loyal Readers there. Sounds like kind of a freelance thing to me.

LRN5’s glowing worm report is heartening progress in my lifelong search for a glowing snake. Thanks for that encouraging word.

I suggest that LRN4 look more carefully in the lower left-hand corner of the Apple TV/Boxee Great Art. LRN5’s definitely there.

Thanks again for commenting! It makes me feel like someone is actually reading my timeless prose, if not actually enjoying it.

There’s a little bit of toilet news today: Stop, then go. Words to live by.

See you tomorrow.

Loyal statue

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009


Here’s LRN2 performing his interpretation of the former statue in the fountain at the Henry Miller estate on Mt. Madonna. Part of my famous Camping series. Also an honorary part of my famous Statue series.

I have lots of Great Art in the queue all of a sudden, including some very good work from Loyal Readers Numbers One and Five. That’s definitely a good problem to have. Some people may not realize how much work it takes to create Great Art.

Not much to report today. My brother-in-law Ken came over for a visit this evening, which is always a welcome event. He had a meeting in the area, apparently. Gave us a copy of a recent book, which was very kind.

LRN1 is working on his summer work plan, thus maximizing the likelihood of success. Good luck, LRN1! Do something useful.

There’s a tiny bit of toilet news today: they’re apparently being outlawed in Sweden. At least in public.

See you tomorrow.
