Me and Tricia whooping it up at The Lollipop Shoppe goes Hawaii party.

Just Plain Greatness

Daddy/daughter day play?

No one dies without a tear falling somewhere

With all the MJ drama. I started to wonder which celebrities will I shed a tear for? The first person to come to mind:



When Gene Wilder passes, I will cry a river.

Hitler and M. Jackson

Dan Dyer Band at the Granada

Intaglio

My plates are coming along nicely. I'm I a weirdo or is okay to think soft ground smells good on a hot steel plate?

1960's Belly Dance

Trying to talk Tricia into The Lollipop Shoppe going sultan.

Trail Trekking!

Cedar Hill State Park

Paper Fortune Teller

When I was a kid at White Rock North Elementary, a redheaded, skinny, sweet boy named Stephen taught me how to make these. I still randomly fold one up and leave it wherever I got the urge to make it. I hope it makes whoever finds them happy.

Park Day!

I go to the park at lunch.


(Does anyone know this artist? Tell me please.)

Joshua Tree

More Memorial Day Weekend

I got in trouble with the docent at the LACMA for taking this photo. :) Whatev, it is an awesome shot of Erik in a Richard Serra sculpture!

Memorial Day Weekend

Went to Los Angeles to visit Bo and her beau, Shane.


Erik came with me and there was much fun to be had. Sailing. Joshua Tree. Art - outsider and educated. Friends. Clients. Exploring. Getting lost. Finding ourselves.


More photos to come!

Where does the time go? Let me get home and settled and I'll post what's new and a few things I've been thinking about... Facebook does a lot of this for me these days, maybe that's why I haven't been here in so long.

I've been goofing off with this guy a lot.

High Fructose Corn Syrup

I'm offended by the commercials I'm seeing about High Fructose Corn Syrup fine in moderation.

The worst offense:
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) turns off your brain's ability to know the body is full. It blocks that hormone relay. When you intake HFCS at a meal, you will eat 15% - 30% more at that meal than you normally would eating that same meal without HFCS. Its also in the sneakiest of places, like Campbell's Tomato Soup. Since you eat more, you intake more HFCS, ingesting more sugar product, makes higher insulin production, and a higher risk of many popular diseases.
