Marion: Why did you moon my bridge club?
Arthur: Because your bridge club is stupid.
Marion: You think the democrats are stupid; why haven't you mooned them?
Arthur: I was tempted in '72.

So I've missed a few days again. Some days it's because I forget to bring my camera with me, and some days I just don't get a chance to upload any pictures.

Pictures of the twins for Monday and Tuesday...



This caught my eye on campus Friday. I have no idea where the hat came from.

And today I went to the park. There's a pine wood that has always creeped me out. It feels like the dark part of a story. They named the trail running through it, as if it wasn't bad enough.

"The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our encouragement, who will need our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give.
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. It's overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt."
~Leo Buscaglia, "Born for Love"


These are my Firefly slippers. My sister wrote Chinese phrases on them for me. They say things like "Serenity," "little sister," and "explosive diarrhea of an elephant."

So I've missed a few days of pictures. I'll have something for tomorrow, but today, I give you Garfield minus Garfield.

Yesterday's picture.

This is a Christmas present from one of my Sunday school students.
