Beware the coming of the childhood photo albums!

Myself, aged 3 or 4, I'm guessing.

According to the album, in Pompeii.

step right up...

and take a guess!

New Digs

This'll be the artistic version (I like the reflection of the office) of the view from my new office's window.

With one of the presents she really enjoyed!

Our Home (no, it's not on fire!!!)

"Old Soul"

This tree in the graveyard in Key West (where we had taken a trip last year) sat in the midst of, and appeared to be protecting with its outspread limbs, a group of about 7 very small gaves.

Rather noble of it, we thought.

A photo 18 years in the making...

"Cut Short"

"Mermaid-Girl"

Quite the swimmer, she is.

Happy Halloween

or Samhain, whatever your preference...

"Beach of the Living Dead"

ChooChoo!

"By Land or by Sea?"

Under-Sea World

At Misty's (she'd be "The Wife") suggestion, I pushed through the crowds and crouched down to get The Girls awe-ing over the dolphins. Turned out pretty good, I think- Thanks, wife!

This was, of course, earlier this summer at Sea World.

After Wilma

as can be seen at Ernie(notBert) , the boat's name is Windmachine... how ironic.

I must ask!

What is the deal with the "caller ID". I get calls rather often here at work, especially right at or after shift change from people who want to know who called them from here. I just got one a few minutes ago.

him: "This is _____, who called me from there?"
me: "This is a business."
him: "So is this. I just walked in the door."
me: "Okay."
him: "Someone called me from there."
me: "Okay."
him: "I wanted to know who called."
me: "Did you get a message?"
him: "No, I just walked in the door."
me: "Then I don't know who called you."
him: "Alright, then..."
me: "Bye."

Is it just me, or what? To me, it's common sense that someone who really wants a call back will leave a message, or lacking an answering machine or service (but still having caller ID?) will call back.
