I'm batching it for a week because miranda is off to the east coast for a early chilhood educators conference. the ice pilots were in last week and i think i'm going to be on again next season(might be a speaking role this time) I had a chance to get to know devon brooks a little bit this time they were in, he's a nice guy but i get the impression he'd rather not be on tv. the pics are pretty much what ya see...

the pics are pretty much what ya see is what ya get. busy time at work, the ice should be breaking anytime now. once again it's heli-milk for a month. happy birthday to sis, hope you have a great day. I'm starting to get my summer brain in gear and think about some trips.

anyhoo that's all for now charles wants some pizza

yeah, i tried that but for some reason it turns them back sideways when i publish.

just as video killed the radio star, facebook with it's up to the minute(every minute) updates, almost makes blogging seem like yesterdays news. like frank, I just finished getting my bike ready for the summer. Of course an hour after i finished we had an ice pellet shower with 25 knot wind (i went for a ride anyways). the sideways pic is miranda doing first bbq of the season about 2 weeks ago. she had to shovel the bbq out of about 3 feet of snow first. all for now but more stuff soon; as the weather is warming up.

here we have a rare picture of the brown family(they are almost never seen in the wild) just as they emerge from hibernation, and prepare to venture outside for recreation.

back to hibernating

these guys are pretty cool they are on You Tube- search, "one night in october one guitar". I don't usually prattle on about stuff on the internet but these guys are cool as it gets. catchiest tune I've heard maybe ever.

you are correct sir!

technically, though, i think we are dormant as opposed to hibernating.
