Rainy Day

A rainy day picture for a rainy day.  This is a picture of me when I was 7 1/2 years old.  It was actually in the Virginian Pilot…either on the cover, or on the first page of the Daily Break section.  No one seems to recall.  It was taken by a friend of the […]

Happy Birthday Babiest Sister!

This is Callie…my youngest sister!  Today is her 19th birthday.  It’s funny, whenever I look at these old pictures of my siblings it takes me back in time.  I can remember the things that I see in the pictures actually happening.  It always makes me a little teary.
In this fine picture from the past […]

The Father of Mail Art

I turned my baby sister, Callie, on to artist Ray Johnson last weekend by letting her borrow a movie of mine (that she still hasn’t returned).  The movie is titled “How to Draw a Bunny.”  Callie made this image for me as a tribute to Ray’s Mail Art movement.  He used to use this image […]

AeroGarden Week 4

This is one of the coolest gifts I have ever received.  Christy got me an AeroGarden for Christmas!  Right now I am on week 4 of this project…and things are looking good!  We are growing Dill, Purple Basil, Italian Basil, Parsely, Cilantro, Chives, and Mint.  I can’t wait for some fresh herbs!  Next time we […]

Holier than Mao?

Meet Matt.  Matt is my best friend of 13 years.  Another thing that you should know about Matt is that he is unique…really unique.  And I love him for that. 
The artwork he is holding is something that I found at a thrift store in Norfolk.  I didnt get it for him because he is […]

Now that’s Something to Think About

In today’s Virginian Pilot newspaper there was an article titled “Penalty license plates urged for 3-time DUI drivers’ cars.”  The title says it all really.  There is a bill on the table that would make it mandatory for 3rd time DUI offenders to purchase this $500 license plate and put it on their vehicle.  […]

Bibbity Bobbity BACON!

I found this video over at another blog that I read fairly frequently (www.dooce.com) and thought it was too good not to share. Check it out:

Musically Disabled

I was thinking the other day how strange it is that I am not a musician on some level.  Music runs in my family (my dad, my grandmother, my sister) and music is super important to me, but it appears that the gene has skipped me.  My father has been in various bands for […]

Flippin Seaman Orchard

Can you think of a funnier name for an Orchard?

In Rainbows

The members of Radiohead have outdone themselves this time.  I cannot stop listening to this album.  In the past week I think I have listened to it 20 or 25 times.  In Rainbows was released a few months ago in a rather controversial manner.  Radiohead put the album up for download on their website […]
