If this is wrong I don’t want to be right

I got some gourmet dog cookies for Gemma. They are delicious. They taste like ginger snaps, and go perfectly with a cup of chai.

Should I worry that I’m eating my dog’s cookies? And don’t want to share?

Happy birthday Baby Girl

My favorite movie-watching companion turned eight yesterday, and I forgot!

It seems like just yesterday she was a baby.

2D vs 3D

My friend Sheila cut my hair today. I have been hating my last haircut since I got it; she offered to fix it, and she did. My sister also cuts hair. I cannot imagine cutting anyone’s hair. Well one time I did cut my friend Alex’s hair, but we were both a little tipsy and he hadn’t combed his hair in over 2 years, plus he was a swimmer. So there was no real risk of doing any harm to his appearance. (As a return favor, he pierced a second hole in one of my ears during a power outage, but that’s another story for another day.)

There’s something about 3 dimensional space that I just can’t navigate through. Two-dimensional space is the easiest thing in the world…drawing has always just been really easy for me. But I failed miserably at sculpture and jewelry-making both.

I guess I will just stick with what I can do. I’ve got Sheila and my sister for everything else.

Sometimes I do get out…

be alert

Went to the Red Sox game last night. Sat in the owner’s box right next to the dugout, apparently a very dangerous place to be. My niece sat next to 2004 World Series demi-god Curt Schilling for a good part of the evening (I reminded her that he is a Bush supporter lest it go to her head). Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched 8 innings, giving up no runs and only 4 hits and striking out 9 to earn part of his $103 million salary.

It was a truly All-American way to kick off the July 4th holiday. I think my pictures will speak louder than anything I can say.

Manny

Yes, Manny is my favorite. Just look at those puppy-dog eyes.
