But because you are...

I changed my mind. Today, was indeed beautiful. But last week, I walked out of my office and up to the stop light to hit the button to cross the street. pasted to the light post was this sign.

And yes, I think you are.

Never Forget

LBJ might have been president.

But the office didn't create the change.

The people did.

The people lead by one great man among many.

Okay | Again

Yeah...false start eh (smile).

But guess where I'm going back to?

Alas, I don't think I'll get to go to the scene of the crime.

But being in the general area will certainly do!

Nuts & Bolts...

...or is it bolts and nuts? In any event, gotta get back to the nuts and bolts basics of it all. Picture blog needs pictures. I just uploaded about a bazillion of them to my laptop, so let's see how many days straight I can go uploading at least one a day.

Here's to 2008

and to better blogging habits.

Hey Amazing Race...

...give us a call already!

Like you know you want us. Sob. Anyhow...I love finding pictures of random people (ie, the folks running the Amazing Race auditions in Lake[hood]wood, WA. November, 2007

For half of forever

That feels like how long it has been. But hmmm...I've taken and had taken pictures from forever ago. So should I get caught up? Start from scratch? Just post whatever? How about some more homage to my fave season...fall...oh how gone it is...but spring is coming...I know it is.

Anyhow, from this past fall.

Not quite big enough

Lurking in the shadows:

Do NOT!

If only...

...blogger would let me upload a photo, I could update this blog. And you could see that yep...it is still there.

Getting a bit rocky in here

And of course she said yes!

This Comb's for You

So you remember what my hair looked like in Tibet.

Well this kid had a remedy:

And yeah...he was NOT afraid to use it.

It was really one of the coolest moments of the trip.

April, 2007

So finally, she returns with some photos. My better half is updating his Tibet pages. And it encouraged me to go back through those photos...none of which I have really scrapped yet. That was SUCH an amazing trip. Reading his recaps takes me right back. And back to Shots Fired.

A non-slr shot. I love my little point and shoot with all my life.

Waffling

I know...these are supposed to be China shots.

But it is overwhelming.

And I'm waffling.

And people are hatin' on me for not posting.

So this is appropriate.

I want one.

But just a regular one...

Not a waffle CONE iron, but a regular waffle iron.

There is a difference right?

Happy summer!
