This flu has some kind of mind of its own–or maybe the multi-symptom daytime cold medication that I took does. Which I took several hours before I went to bed last night so probably isn’t responsible for what went through my mind as I lay waiting for sleep that didn’t show up.
Won’t say how [...]

Of course I spent yesterday in bed, unable to move. But who didn’t know that would likely happen? Even I knew that would likely happen, I’m not a complete idiot. Though I must say I was hoping that I would be spared, mainly because I was the one doing all the cooking [...]

Let me put it this way, the holiday pitched a few punches. Mother-in-law in from out of town since last Thursday and co-adult’s two brothers arriving a little after that, co-adult got hit with the flu last Friday and has been in bed since then, completely since then, steeped in misery. I have been [...]

We hit the Imperial Rome Exhibit at Fernbank a second time. The exhibit is leaving early January so not too long left to see it if you haven’t and are in the area.

More expressive faces of beautiful nieces. Larger views of the below can be had by clicking upon.
The top one would actually make an interesting digital painting.

The Book Discussion, 2006
Best viewed large to appreciate at all, if it’s something to appreciate. The Flickr shrinking of it here has particularly distorted the images.
Having some nieces with wonderfully expressive faces, I had fun composing it at least. (I’ve nephews with wonderfully expressive faces as well but they’re not in this pic. [...]

Puppet Maker’s Hand, 2006
H.o.p. trying his hand again at making paper mache puppets the other day, which didn’t turn out so well and he decided it was too much work. But I did get this picture and liked the way there was an ungooped spot on his hand where you could see the flour/salt [...]

Blondesense notes that Scientists must now have APPROVAL to release data
You knew it was only a matter of time, right? Apparently the Bush Administration feels they need to keep a closer track on US Geological Survey (you know, those folks who, amongst other things, study global warming).
And I quote:
