For D—-, Dead By Her Own Hand My dear, I wonder if before the end My wife, Angela, and I were awakened this morning, courtesy of our alarm-clock-radio, to the urgent, breaking news that Jennifer Lopez had just been named People Magazine’s Most Beautiful Woman in the World, 2011. I think Angie responded “Oh, brother,” just as I muttered, “You’ve got to be kidding me”. No, it’s not that our candidate didn’t [...] As many of you know, my first date with the lovely Angela was on or about February 12th, 1993, back when I was convinced I’d never be a poet. These days, however, my poetic spirit re-invigorated, I try to write her one every Valentine’s Day and for her birthday. Since I’ve been intrigued with form [...] With the kids 400 miles away visiting their grandparents, the lovely Angela and I took a few hours off of the various household projects and decided to go out for dinner and a walk.

In researching cameras and, especially, reading the manual for my new Powershot, I have [...] Cuz you can clearly see what I’m capable of doing with it (click on all pics in this post for a higher resolution image). Actually, the photo above was taken on my old HP 733 Photosmart camera. The Canon Powershot A720 IS (or perhaps the A650 IS) is the camera with which I hope to replace [...] Joseph, alert child that he is, noticed an unusual feature had been added to our backyard sometime during the night. Sadly, they were not permanent. Tennis. Unfortunately, the racquet should contact the ball, not someone’s noggin. Ella knows this now that she watched her mother get examined for a broken nose and sewn up with 4 stitches. It does look much better. At least she can see out of it now. |
