Pic of the Day: I hate cars

So my damn car has been in the shop all week. Transmission problems, idle problems, fuel filter problems and coffee mug holder problems.

--Dammit.

Pic of the day: The Parthenon

Long ago I visited the Parthenon. It was impressive. I stood there alone in the center, looking up at Nike, the goddess of victory...

--in Nashville...

Pic of the Day: 3D Pics

I have several collections.

One of them is my collection of antique 3D stereo viewer photos.

I buy really good ones when I can find them. Thanks to the tube of the interwebs, many are becoming available on-line.

--Creepy ones are the best!

Pic of the Day: Brrrr

Brenda is visiting her parents. This morning she sent me this photo from her cell phone.

Just looking at it made my hands cold and my joints hurt.

Some kids going to put his tongue on a pole. I knoe it!

--Where's your global warming now Mr.Gore!

Pic of the Day: The Bat Cave

You have to look at the Matrix raw. All I see now is blonde, brunette, redhead...

--Better life through technology.


Pic of the day: Gumby guy gone...


Arthur C. Clokey, the creator of Gumby, has died aged 88.

"Art" Clokey, who lived in Los Osos, California, passed away in his sleep.

He is best known for popularizing stop-motion claymation with his children's series Gumby.

--He once was a little green slab of clay...

Pic of the Day: Cady and 3D


My favorite daughter, in her favorite hat, wearing her favorite 3D glasses...

-Avatar as fashion!

Pic of the Day: Taking my wife here soon...


So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Pic of the Day: My Dad, the Superhero

"My Dad is cooler than your Dad. Mine has a cape. A real one..."

This photo was the proof of my youthful declaration.

--I still think it's true...

Pic of the Day: The Bookcase

This picture was taken in my den.

My kids Grandfather, Bert Miller, gave me this bookcase. Bert is a lawyer. Not the silk suit, partner in a prestigious law firm, contract attorney kinda lawyer. He is the rumpled, bright eyed. intelligent, kinda lawyer that spent most of his life as a public defender in Washington DC. He is the idealist that so many lawyers strive to be but sell out along the way. I don't have the vocabulary to convey how much respect I have for him.

He is the real deal.

He was moving to a new apartment and was downsizing. I was lucky to be gifted this beautiful bookcase for my den. One day it will be handed down to the next generation.

--I Love it, and him...

Pic of the Day: Dreaming of Summer


Today the temps are in the teens...

It has me dreaming of summer. Long winters longer that time can remember...

-- Char hugged me a lot that day.

Pic a Day: Wanna Watch a Movie?


If you know me, you already know how much I love movies.

If you have not been over to see something in the Valhalla Theater, what are you waiting for?

-- Popcorn included!
