Schmerz!

Not much to say.
Other than a visit to the dentist revealed a wisdom tooth that needs to come out.
"It must hurt quite a bit."
"Nope. Haven't felt a thing. Honest."
"Really?"
So, apparently, I have major tolerance to mouth pain.

Whew!

All those socks I thought were gone?
(I really was perplexed--why didn't I ever have any socks?)
My brother had them.
Well, they're back now!

Safe.

Pinched

I'm taking suggestions for my next book to read.

Nonfiction, I think.

Unless it's good fiction. But nothing too pomo arty.

Please send LC numbers, ISBN numbers or Amazon links.

Thanks!

Happy

Hello!

This is my wrench couple. Don't they look happy?



Happy Birthday, Matty!

No further proof required

Laura's ankle has now been rankled.
June must go!

Join me in armed revolt!
No?
OK.
Ankled then?

101 in the shade

That's the forecast for tomorrow.
If I were me I'd stay inside and do inside things.

Ouch

June should be abolished.
The month has just gotten started. But still.

Ah, nature...

There's a bird outside my window and its chirp sounds like that one kid's laugh on The Simpsons.
There's a mob of noisy raccoons at Laura's.
And there were bugs all over the garage last night.

The Big Game

Only a few left.
Sammy is worried some wild pitch will get him in the face (again). Poor lil fella! He says he hates it, but he's really pretty good at it.

Whatever you think is best

Notebooks, what good are notebooks? They won’t help me survive.

2008 Drawing of the Year, in progress.

2007
2006
Apologies for the "old blog template settings allowed for larger pictures but now they overlap the sidebar" issue.
Wait. I'm not sorry. It is what it is.

Holy rattlesnakes that fell all around your feet

Unless I'm mistaken, that's poison ivy between my toes.
How it got there is anybody's guess.
Grrrr.

Work in progress

These are the songs I didn't finish in the last year. Most of these titles aren't actually what the titles would have been, just first lines. I started them all, and, for whatever reason (lack of desire? talent?) I didn't ever see them through.

Spectacular! Spectacular!

For several hours yesterday my watch was missing.
I assumed it was taken by one of the men, who have a habit of picking up random things and hiding them away (example: the "treasure" of Sam's I found in the back seat of the car).
But it was me!
I had put it in the pocket of my pants and, since I wasn't wearing yesterday's pants at the time, could not find it!
But then Laura (on the phone) said, "Did you look in your pants pocket?"
And she was right.
Wow.
I have the most exciting life ever.

Clean up your act

Another sunny day--so it's time for chores.
One of my chores is to put up some semblance of artwork.
The rest of the day is chores though.
Maybe a bike ride.
Maybe some music.
Maybe a nap.
Maybe.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

It's Bike to Work week but I don't know if I'll be able to, based on my schedule. Lame, I know.

Not much new art, so here's another old me, also from 20 years ago.

Wow.

I feel old just typing that.
