Years ago, I started the habit/tradition of bringing home shotglasses from the various ports of call I visited for my bartenders. At the time, I had several favourites and spread the gifts out as I could. Now, however, I have but one bartender that I truly call "mine." That’s Trista, the wonderful bartender at Rob’s Billiards. I’m also proud to call her "friend," her bartending skills are just a wonderful bonus. Recently, she and her husband with their children drove from their home here in North Texas to Torreón, Coahuila de Zaragoza Mexico, where her husband has family. She returned with a gift. Not a shotglass, exactly, but better in my mind. This is a handmade water pot made in the traditional style with traditional methods
That’s a hand-turned clay pot with dried rawhide stretched across it. It’s very cool. Thanks, Trista!
Cheers.

A Thursday. A droll day. A day without photos save one.
Flipped On when I got home, I took the photo and flipped it off. The decorative faceplate is typical of the type of decoration with which MB has rendered our little house beautiful.
Cheers.

So, I missed the opportunity to take a photo on Memorial Day. Call it overheated, call it what you will. I made up for it on the 29th with this photo:

We’ve long since established I’m a collector. I am NOT a pack-rat, I don’t keep everything no matter what. I am, however, a collector which means I have a lot of esoteric stuff with the emphasis on the stuff. I bought this guy on my first trip to Epcot many years ago. I had intended to build a collection around him because I found him very, very cool.
However, after bringing him home, I found that many other people also collect these hideous little trolls and thus the prices are unreasonably high. I forewent my desire to collect them, and have just established him on my desk as my personal mascot.
Cheers.

Have I mentioned that my wife is talented? She’ll take this bunch of geegaws
and turn it into works of art that she will then sell. I love what she does.

I believe I’ve used this lamp as a photgraphic subject before. But, when it’s that cool, it’s hard not to:

HOT! HUMID! GROSS! Days like this day make me wonder why I’ve tied a substantial part of my livelihood to outdoor events. No one wanted to be at the festival on this day; those that were were cranky & not really willing to part with hard-earned cash. But, we muddled through as best we could. And through it all, not a photo was taken. Evening rolled around and I crawled into bed only to have to crawl back out & take a photo. This is what I took. It’s a close-up of a single pearl on my noble’s outfit as crafted by A Wardrobe in Time.
I love this outfit!
Cheers.

Geek.
1. a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person, esp. one who is perceived to be overly intellectual.
2. a computer expert or enthusiast (a term of pride as self-reference, but often considered offensive when used by outsiders.)
3. a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts, as biting off the head of a live chicken.
Recently, however, the term geek has morphed into meaning "someone who is generally not athletic, and enjoys Video Games; Comic Books; being on the internet, and etc."
I think that this can be expanded to any person who is, or claims to be, passionate about a particular thing (i.e. sport, hobby, team &c.). Therefore, I contend that the owner of this collection
is also a geek; he’s just a geek of a different colour. I can’t even pretend to understand the passion, but then I’m sure he can’t understand my love/hate affair with the Arsenal F.C. or Comic Books. But, nonetheless, my colleague deserves kudos for airing his geek for all the world to see.
Cheers.

Went to work this morning, and was just leaving when I got a phone call from the wife. She requested that I drive to Dallas to meet with her, Larry, Denise & Allyson. Since, Larry & Denise were leaving the next day, I made the decision to go. I detest Dallas traffic. We had a lovely dinner at an overpriced Tex-Mex restaurant, then MB asked Ally to go open her Beading Dreams store for me. Lovely, lovely store. Please visit it.
While there, I talked Allyson in to selling me a little skull made of bone. This is it, next to a little tiny frog that has lived on every computer I’ve owned since 1997:
Cheers.
