Self Portrait

Office View

It is thundering and raining like mad here in Chucktown right now.

Almost Near Death Experience

So yesterday afternoon I somehow managed to acquire two free bottles of red. Of course I then did the only right thing and drank one of them.

What really made last night memorable though was when I, half way through the Pinot, decided to step out on the patio to smoke my pipe.

Under the Sherlock Holmes-like pipe was a cricket hiding, who apparently didn't like it when I wanted to use his roof as a smoking device. This may not sound very terrifying, but it was! Crickets are evil creatures with Death in their eyes who like nothing more than to mess people up.

Spider Friday

Baby Sean only woke up twice last night so I am actually quite rested for once. Now I am working while rocking out to Echo & The Bunnymen and My Bloody Valentine before my office mate comes in.

The Spider below is about the size of my palm, and half his back is yellow and orange and the other half has a marking that looks like a skull!

And oh yeah - he lives at our house.

Sneak Out

Not much to report over here. My biggest achievement so far today is drinking my weight in coffee. As it is now I am thinking of heading out a bit earlier than I should and go home to the family.

Also - Congratulations to Lisa Simpson who, according to the 1995 episode Lisa's Wedding got married yesterday.
