I definitely punished Sonny in Connect 4.

Colorado.

Cris — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 02:38:05 GMT

Went to Breckenridge. Stayed in the worst hotel I've been in since I used to live on the road. Got altitude sickness. Ate food. Rode!

Roadside!

They grow up so fast.

Wisdom of the Ancients

Cris — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:31:32 GMT

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.

4th of July.

Cris — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 01:48:15 GMT

Roadtrip with nephew and dogs to NH. Stops in Albany, Enfield, Longmeadow.

On the ferry. Oval looks almost thin.

Dogs love trucks.

For Mark.

Sister.

Not used to this.

Used to this.

Trying.

Cris — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 02:11:17 GMT

Trying to make the most of the weekends. Sometimes that means doing the least.

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.

Living Room

Cris — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 02:15:56 GMT

NH

Cris — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 02:17:27 GMT

Finally went to NH. Hadn't been there in six months. Sorry mom and dad.

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...

Christmas.

Cris — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 04:53:30 GMT

A few minor scenes from Christmas with the family...

Frustration.

Sister/poster.

Nephew/dart gun.

Beth and Andy cooked dinner for us and the Bindrims.

Short Round now has only one eye.

Warming up.

Family photo.

Meanwhile, next door...

"33" stands for pounds. Pounds.

"...of nothing in particular"

Cris — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 23:14:09 GMT

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.

Hurricane Season

Cris — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 23:09:28 GMT

We went for a walk with the Seven Legs of Doom.

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.

Sunday

Cris — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 01:27:31 GMT

We had visitors today, Jared and Nichole. And Ed stopped by. It was real busy out here. Yesterday I stayed in my pajamas the whole day.

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.

Hershey Again.

Cris — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 20:33:59 GMT

This was nice; didn't have the heart to tell them the bars were upside down.

5K. A bargain at half the price.

$3500.00 rusty rim and bald tire.

The second-coolest Corvair ever.

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

This was awes.

Chocolate//Cars

Cris — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 00:39:43 GMT

Some things I saw after I got out of the car down here for the 23 time in my life.

Unused DuVall windshield. $3500. A bargain at twice the price.

Nice Knuckle. First 26K takes it.

RAD sign.

This was a cool moped.

Barn-fresh '29 Roadster.

Carhorsecar.

Walk

Cris — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 00:36:40 GMT

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

Tobin

Cris — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 00:34:17 GMT

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.

Opie

Cris — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 00:39:16 GMT

This is our old cat Opie. I don't think any birds fell for this trick.

Attendance is Mandatory.

Cris — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:10:49 GMT

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.

Did you know that a full-grown Irish Setter takes up less room in a bed than a French Bulldog?

Cris — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:57:12 GMT

Bought another camera off of Craigslist this week. Ali has an acid test she puts these devices through:

Autumn = a lot of this going on:

GEM of an antique spot...an oasis in the center of a desert of shite.

Last night of Goodies. Rivet needed one more dog bowl.

Delicious.

Cris — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 01:55:44 GMT

Been cooking a lot lately...

Cris — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 01:18:31 GMT

Went to this and then the National Air and Space museum where I proceeded to get vertigo.

Monuments by Moonlight

Cris — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 01:15:28 GMT

Barama was cruising around in the 'copter, checking out the sky. You get your check yet? Neither did we...

I think this was Ali's favorite part of the trip.

National Gallery of Art

Cris — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 01:11:11 GMT

Didn't take too many photos. Best place we went to though. By far.

People were yelling at this thing. "It's moving! I swear it's moving!"

I was too stunned to take pictures of most of the stuff there.

They have a lot of everything. Not a little of everything. A lot. All of it.

Go. Go for days.

National Museum of Natural History

I'm about done with trying to commute on Rt. 7. Today's mild concussion was the final straw. Check out that moving average though...
