We shared a birthday. He peed on the floor when I met him.

Rich mine of art: minion of Mercury;
True touchstone of the mind of Mystery;

Invention's storehouse: Nymph of Helicon:
Deep Moralist of Time's tradition:

Unto this Paragon of Brutus' race
Present thy service, and with cheerful grace

Say (if Pythagoras believed my be),
The soul of Ancient Wisdom lives in thee.]]> http://www.dabica.com/blog/sphpblog-0.4.7.1/index.php?entry=entry100624-221117


Ali and I got this running finally after three weeks of false starts. I drove it around the yard then almost caught it on fire. Just like the old days.

Check out this amazing three shot sequence:








We stopped by Ed's after. There was much to discuss.

Dog scenario. Short Round meeting his new cousin Oval.


Mr. Round still has only one eye.


Went out to camp.


Saw a loon on the way. You can't see it but it had a little baby loon on its back.




Camp weathered winter well.



These items found their way to our front yard...]]> http://www.dabica.com/blog/sphpblog-0.4.7.1/index.php?entry=entry100314-113205 ]]> http://www.dabica.com/blog/sphpblog-0.4.7.1/index.php?entry=entry100314-113000

These two follow Ali around like drones.



Just trading places all day long.

Rivet and I went for a walk the other day. PICTURES! Beware: includes photos of peeing, snakes, and large vegetables.

Caught up on gossip with Ed.



However you would describe this scenario.



Squirrels, of course.



Then there's ol' kickstand here.



SweetPea has been with us since Wednesday.

I bought the New York Times on a whim today. 6 bucks. 6 American dollars. SIX. I think I can get a year's subscription to Thrasher for 11 dollars and they probably throw in a free t-shirt. I read a total of two articles in the entire paper.

Here is a still from an old movie:



It is Mario Andretti on a Snurfer. Real talk: I actually used to Snurf. Our "neighbors" (they lived probably 5 miles away) had a few Snurfers in their barn and they also had a wicked sledding hill. I used to use the Snurfers whenever we went over there, which was quite often. I actually recall standing on the rope instead of holding onto it. Odd. Oh! and my dad once picked up Mario at the airport. Real talk.

Here is another old photo. I remember this like it was yesterday:



This is Christmas Eve at my Bedstamor and Bedstafar's (grandparents) house. My dad and I building
Lego Police Station 370 with my Grammi in the background. These were the Legos with the figures whose arms and legs were nonexistent.

Lessons:
Stop by and see us.
Don't buy the Times.
Legos = forever.
Mario = sideways, always.]]> http://www.dabica.com/blog/sphpblog-0.4.7.1/index.php?entry=entry091007-163359

Something tells me this box art isn't completely original.


This was awes.]]> http://www.dabica.com/blog/sphpblog-0.4.7.1/index.php?entry=entry091006-203943

Rather fleet of foot, this small, fat, tailless dog. Hovers.

These were never produced. Julien sent them along. Come see them and the Cards "Slayer" shot and the Andy Roy pistol photo, and, and, and.]]> http://www.dabica.com/blog/sphpblog-0.4.7.1/index.php?entry=entry091002-203916

You will get in your car or plane or time machine or whatever and come to this show. Tobin made Fucktards and took some of the most important photos of our time. Julien sent Todd Harris-era decks from his own collection. Anticipation. ]]> http://www.dabica.com/blog/sphpblog-0.4.7.1/index.php?entry=entry090928-050234
