One Last Sip of Christmas Spirits

As I try to work up the energy to take down my Christmas decorations, I realize that I never posted my pictures from the M-L household's Christmas spectacular. So finish off the last of the eggnog and enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

A few snapshots of this Yuletide season....

Best Spam email ever

I am in no way responsible for this content, but I pass it along as it is awesome. Also, since Ms. Knapp died, I so infrequently get emails that begin "Ave!"

Ave, gentleman!Love must be down in the heart or hidden in the stars above ? just thinkabout it. Life is wasted without love. Look inside your heart, I will lookinside mine.I want my dark prince. I want my angel. I want my tempter. I want thelighter of my seven lamps of beauty, honour, laughter, music, love, life andimmorality. I want my inspiration, my folly, my happiness, my divinity, mymadness, my selfishness, my final sanity and sanctification, mypurification, my light across the sea, my palm across the desert, my gardenof lovely flowers, my million nameless joys, my day?s wage, my night?sdream, my darling and my star. I want to find my love

Warm hugs

Ferocious Jungle Cat

La Milo really thinks she could take that squirrel. I am not convinced.

Occupied

I was prepared to be annoyed by the inconvenience of the occupation, but this morning I am just so happy that our kids demonstrate AGAINST economic injustice and not FOR people who protect child molesters that this made me unbelievably happy. Occupy on, kids!

Pumpkin Protest

A few Cucurbitaceae had some opinions about the Cambridge Brewing Company's Pumpkin Beer Festival.

Happy Halloween, y'all...

Costume the Third

Ideas that JSP and I have come up with to explain to Facebook the inevitable pictures of me from this evening’s Halloween party

• Status update: K. is pretty, witty and gay

• FAQ in the notes section:

Question - who is that girl that you're kissing in that picture?
Answer – my date

Question - jigga what now?
Answer - you heard correctly my friend

Question - but I don't understand. weren't you married?
Answer - look at how pretty she is - who wouldn't go gay for her?

• Irritating Facebook Poll: Would you be okay with K. dating this girl, check “Yes” or “Fuck Off”

Apple Picking

Field trip to the apple orchard lead to surprisingly few red apples - but lots of sunshine, and I didn't get lost forever in the corn maze, so I call it a win. Now what to do with a big bag of green apples...
