Big Boy Bike

Duck got a new big boy bike a couple of weeks ago. It is a little too big for him yet, but he picked it out and will grow into it. It’s such a trip to watch him work the handbrakes. He does a great job and I’m so proud of him!

My guys

This was taken Mother’s Day morning before B took the boys away to let me do my thing.
Duck had found the hat the day before and I LOVE it. It’s too small for him, but he still wears it. I look at this kid and I say, “Man, he’s cool. [...]

Got One!

We have frogs and toads in our backyard. In the past few years, we’ve seen some small ones now and then, but this year, we’ve really had a lot of them and they are big. The boys love to run around the yard trying to get them, trying to chase them, [...]

Capt. Nemo-Dorothy Kohl, RIP

We got Nemo-Dorothy on Duck’s 4th birthday. Next week Duck will be 6.  It was their first pet (they don’t rememeber the dogs we had when they were babies.)  2 years for a goldfish is pretty good, I guess.  Stealth found him dead last night and he was just in total disbelief.  This is also [...]

Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Just downloading some Bowie for Erzulie and couldn’t help myself.
 
So the new template.  I needed something new and I’m sure I’ll change this a thousand times before I’m settled.  Frankly, I want my own template -something with disco balls and fuchsia feathers and motorcycles.  No such luck?  How about Mimosas and pink toenails?  A mountain [...]

SO cool …

Check this out - Photo Zoomer
 
Fair warning -it might take a bit to load and you might have install Shockwave, but I just spent a good 15 minutes with Duck at this site.  Listening to Erzulie sing from her portable dock (our closet boy, Jill,) and just diving deeper and deeper into these photos.  [...]

Amazing things are afoot at the Circle K, Ted.

This could turn into a long post, but I’m realizing that I’m not prepared to write about it in full yet, so I’m just going to regurgitate what it is that I feel I can say.
 
Something big is afoot at the Circle K, Ted.  (If you email me the movie reference, I’ll give you a [...]

Happy Birthday!

The Koala and the Little Lizard

 A koala is sitting up a gumtree smoking a joint when a little lizard walks past and looks up and says "Hey Koala ! what are you doing?"
  The koala says: "Smoking a joint, come up and have some."  So the little lizard climbs up and sits next to the koala and they have a few [...]
