"When Harris is at a party, and is asked to sing, he replies: 'Well, I can only sing a comic song, you know'; and he says it in a tone that implies that his singing of that however is a thing that you ought to hear once, and then die."

-Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat

ponder

  • What is more important to cultivate-- a natural talent, or an acquired skill?
  • Why must my neighbor constantly run heavy machinery in the wee hours of the morning? How does he manage to drive his bulldozer more backwards than he does forwards so that there is a constant beeping noise?
  • Why can I not open a banana withouth turning the top into mush that oozes out the sides? Have I missed some secret?
  • Is God sarcastic? Job 38-- or am I misinterpreting it grossly?
  • The yogurt container in our fridge proudly announces that it contains 6 'live and active cultures'...not one, or four, but 6. A bold 6 with a sunburst behind it. Should this really make me want to eat it?
  • Does it grate on anyone else's subconcious when you see someone walking around with a large red spot on the back of their calf because they have sat with their legs crossed for a really long period of time?
  • Does my chin really quiver when I'm telling a lie?

and what have you done?

So, photography is not really my cup of tea, but sometimes it is easier for me to just show you something rather than attempting to describe it and completely messing it up...

I love my family... Merry Christmas everyone, and I hope yours is as wonderful as mine.
