• Odds and ends from the past few days....

  I completely forgot to post the few stills I took on Saturday night, plus some snagged off the Flip Video:

  

  

  

  

  I loved the little wave Jason gave as he left the stage.  ;^p

  

  Isn't she precious?  Here are the two of them:

  

  Jessica and Jason sharing a chuckle afterwards:

  

  Okay, okay....I'll move on.

  Last Thursday I went to the Regis at the mall to get my monthly
  haircut, and entered through Sears' men's department.  My goodness, I
  thought to myself, Sears has gotten serious about the add-on sale:

  

  Riding mowers, sitting in the aisle next to the Dockers.  Apparently
  they were just parked there temporarily, for when I returned a little
  later they were nowhere to be seen.  Pity!  I'd think having 'em
  sitting in the men's department would facilitate sales, and there I was
  giving Sears credit for creative marketing display. 

  While my fondness for chocolate runs deep and strong, there are limits to it, and chocolate-flavored bubble gum is one of 'em:

  

  Yuck!   Who on earth would want to chew chocolate-flavored bubble gum?

  Yesterday afternoon after church Dmitry and I went to fetch Raven so
  she could come over for a few hours.  (Carolyn was out-of-pocket due to
  it being her weekend with her father.)  The two of them had a grand
  time playing video games (Raven brought a couple of hers), checking out
  friends' MySpace sites, walking down to Dairy Queen for lunch, going
  with me on a run to SuperTarget, arguing over the relative merits of
  the upcoming summer movies, and updating their respective cell phone
  greetings due to finding a site with suggested messages.

  If someone calls Dmitry, don't be surprised to hear a Russian-accented
  voice claim to be "Death", urging callers to leave their name or number
  so that he can "be right with them."  I pointed out he ought to simply
  record a greeting in Russian; if it's someone who knows him they'll
  understand why they're hearing Russian, and if it's not, they'll be
  fritzed out thinking they've somehow inadvertently called Russia and
  how much is that going to cost them?

  He wasn't interested.  Dollars to donuts, had such a clever notion been
  found on that website he'd have been impressed, but since it was
  brought up by his mother.....how good could it be?
