1 Thousand Words

I just developed 2 rolls of film and only got 1 photo of note. It was worth it anyway.

15 Minutes Later

We bought Tess a dog bed for her birthday to accompany the new dog which is, ostensibly, hers.

That present was opened less than an hour ago. 15 minutes later, Tess said that she would like a new dog bed for Christmas.

I'm wondering if they sell a kevlar model. Elvish chain would be even better.

Update 4 hours later: I think the upgrade will have to be crafted from dwarven plate mail. I'm confident this dog could tear through the elvish chain mail in under a day.

(Note to Phil: The astute viewer may note the presence of a very fine red oak bunk bed in the background...)

December Miscellany

The year is ticking to a close. Here's a last round of photos before Christmas to close things up. Click on the photo below for the slideshow.

Micah's Christmas Gift

Some of you may secretly consider Micah's lego obsession to be a bit low-brow. Fortunately, the helpful folks at Amazon have a solution...

(Update, apparently there's more)

DISCLAIMER: Please note my humor before you think about ordering. Micah's actual tastes run more to spaceships than modernist architecture.

I Thought It Was Just Me...

P&P Night

Some of us like watching Pride & Prejudice more than others...

Quote of the Day

"Dad, I need mom to 'contact the tooth fairie' [airquotes helpfully supplied by the speaker] because I lost 2 teeth last week and she keeps forgetting to come."
