doggy boudoir photography

Ron Warren Photography takes a bold step into the burgeoning field of doggy boudoir photography. Does your pooch need to rekindle a fire? Put him/her on a bed with a nice 50 thread count and command "give me smoldering eyes". RWP will capture it! (or maybe Cosmo was on the bed, again --- "as per usual, Doug!"....)

dress your baby up as an evil dictator

Or maybe you really shouldn't. Kudos on the creativity of the idea, skepticism as to actually implementing it. You know this was the product of a weird drunken conversation between a photographer and probably his buddy, the repressed copywriter. Take a look for yourself at:

darn that Pasquale

I heard that all the ladies swoon for Pasquale.

But I never thought.... never in a million years!.... my own wife! ¡Ay, caramba!

Benjamin Franklin?

Hey, Benjamin Franklin -- who's that lady you're with?

Glenn, Annette, and Jack!

it's growing back (we think)

luau

A local development that features a retirement community sponsored a luau for the public. Wasn't really all that, but we stuck our heads in, got lei-d, and stuck around for a spell. They had some food, some music, and some dancers. Beautiful place, Sun City Anthem in Florence (not to be confused with the town of Anthem, north of Phoenix).

flat-tailed horned lizard

Just walked the dog and ran across a rather large specimen of the flat-tailed horned lizard in a tiny little park two blocks from my house. Freaked Cosmo right out.

I, of course, was brave, even nonchalant, in the face of this dangerous wild animal.

It looked just like this:

Butter Battle

Dawn's school (or at least the 2nd grade) is doing stuff to commemorate Dr. Seuss' birthday. So yesterday we made a bulletin board based on Seuss' Butter Battle Book, which is, surprisingly, about an escalation of arms, ala cold war.

Wild, wacky stuff. You can always count on Seuss!
