Photoshop gets my hopes up again with this story of a supposed giant Great White Shark , (to be confused with a White Pointer, because that's what they call them where Steve Irwin is from). Sad thing... which makes me very sad. I do so wish it was real. But it's pretty clear that it isn't. Too bad, because overfishing has killed off most of the bigger sharks, and they're getting pretty rare. *sigh

Whelp, the Monterey Bay Aquarium is once again ringing the mystery out of life and the wildlife out of sharks by displaying yet another juvenile white shark. Let's hope they get this one back into the...more jokes specifically related to vaginas. Steve is the teenage son, who is sort of a spoof on those kids in bad 80's movies that scream all of their dialogue. Have a listen!

I've been thinking a lot about Obama and health care and why this is getting so stupid. People will insist on raving about how National health Care will hurt old people and make all kinds of cost-based... from the pages of "Duh" Magazine: Psychologists finally decide you can't therapize someone out of being gay. Great, you also can't meditate yourself into a new eye color. Well played, psychology

My brother Mark came to visit H and I and join us for dinner. We had tossed salad with fresh mozzarella and a good red balsamic, then stuffed shells with italian sausage. Decadent and very tasty. For dessert...Sound In good working order EDIT 10:12pm hand-me-down 27" TV just arrived. Will set up tomorrow. Many thousands of thanks to everyone who offered to help out. You guys rule, and I really mean that!

It's my first log-in here... I'm just recognizing what can I do here and so on. So hello everybody :))

...little 'nnouncement's got me kinda worried. But... I ain't gonna panic or anythin'. Hey, I'm back from the vacation, and damn, ain't this a nice thing t' come back to? I'm preparin' Sharky for battle and buyin' a gun and some ammo. I'll be workin' on my Birdman wings so the feathers can actually make damage; with the material it's made of, I can do that. I'm trained in the air force...

...a lot o' different gifts this year from my pals, so thanks t' them for that! I still appreciate 'em. 'Specially that remote-controlled plane, Nell... >:D I'm gon' paint it and make it look just like Sharky would if SHE were a plane. Speakin' o' which, off to go flyin' some more! Maybe I'll worm in a somersault or two this time. Anyone's free to watch an expert at work if yer' downtown today.

...to keep Hettie for pilferin' popcorn from the bowl . Matt's gonna hafta' electrocute me with his electric Pokemon or somethin' to get me away from the set now, I think!  Eeeehhh, this entry's kinda short. I'll be back on later, I think I need t' take Hettie flyin' in Sharky. She's startin' to like the air more, makes me wonder if I'll hafta' wind up teachin' her how t' fly herself soon...

...no clue ya' had such a stomach. I knew what to expect from Surge and Larkster, but not you! Bein' so small, I thought you'd have, like... a bird stomach. Heh, with this second seat installed on Sharky, I think I should take people flyin' more. I know I'll definitely take Surge for a spin one day... 'less he changes his mind? I know he sounded kinda eager for it b'fore. Maybe... I'd even let him...

What am I thankful for? Uh... guess it's a good idea t' do this... 'Sides, I'm thankful for a lot. I think. -- I'm thankful to have Matt Surge in my life. 'Cause... 'cause y'anno, he means a lot...taken up the occupation of a teacher, and once, a pilot (which'll always be my greatest passion). Bein' a teacher is borin', though. -- I'm thankful I have the most stylish gyrocopter in the world.
