For those of you who missed the story (or the event itself), when we were in Pasadena for ESI training, I chipped my front tooth on a drinking glass. There are many kinds of drinking problems; mine is an overapplication of force. Actually it was just a busted filling from a pool accident these many years ago. We got it all fixed up so fast that not all ya'll got to enjoy the hayseed fun of it all.


Here's a pictures of the house we're staying in for the time being. My whole family built this house over 15 years ago. My uncle, aunt and four cousins live in the big part on the left, my grandparents live in a small apartment upstairs on the right, and we're staying in a small apartment downstairs on the right (it used to be a garage).

A few years back when my cousins were younger, my uncle, a terrific carpenter up for any challenge, decided a typical swing set and playground wasn't adventurous enough...so he built a pirate ship. Although it's now old and weathered and has long since been overrun by scurvy spiders, the ship stills terrorizes the seven...er...lawns.

And this is our neighborhood canine companion, Gunner. Say hello, Gunner. Yip! Good dog.

And this is the lovely Chrissy, who asked the sky to coordinate with her T-shirt for this photo shoot. You too can request that the sky color coordinate with your wardrobe by visiting this website: www.wearblueclothes.com

And for those of you who missed it, here's a shot of the lunar eclipse from yesterday morning. A few of you might be complaining that the moon looks really small in this picture. That's because the moon really is that small. And it's made of cheese.
