My new favorite T-shirt

It's title?  The Binge.  I got it at shirt.woot.com.

Beauty is fleeting (v2)

I was greeted by this all across the sky as I stepped off the train tonight. By the time I got the camera out to snap this pic, only half the sky was illuminated. Thirty seconds later, all color was gone from the clouds.

Happy Halloween!

Our annual Halloween party yesterday went off without a hitch and all attending had a great time. Thank you to all who came and made it such a successful party. Emma's and Deidre's pumpkins are now standing watch over the back porch.

Deidre got "booed" tonight

Apparently there is a New England custom with which I am completely unfamiliar.  A classmate of Deidre's left a sign and bucket of candy on the doorstep, knocked on the door, and fled before it was answered. This is quaint custom that I will continue to fully support (especially if there are Snickers or Kit-Kats for me).

Halloween preparations are underway!

Bucky Balls from Woot

This is my first "cool" creation. This is the most fascinating magnetic toy I've ever owned.

Fun with Faces courtesy of Picasa

Boy, it's been a while since I've posted to here.

The latest version of Picasa came out recently, and one of the new features is to make "Face Movies" from the people identified by their facial recognition feature. So, of course, I made one for every member of the family.
