October B-days

snow showers
It's kinda fun, having a cameraphone. (Yeah, yeah, I know....but I'm just barely into the 90's here, let alone the twenty-first century. Give me a break for being slow.) I lug the phone around everywhere anyway, trying to decide if I'm ready to completely...

United 93
Wow. I went to see this movie last night. I knew it was going to be a tough experience, but I found that after 5 years, this story still shakes me deep. This brought back every second of the confusion and horror of that Tuesday morning. Who would have...

Leaves over Water
Taken in the Porcupine Mountains, on the Presque Isle River. The rain finally stopped today, so it was a perfect day to get out and take a few pics. The colors up north aren't quite as gaudy as they are here, surprisingly. One of the locals told me that...

popped in for this message
We've all witnessed a lot of insanity in American politics over the last few years. Up until the last few days, none of it has seriously bothered me; hey, just more grist for the satire mill. But after witnessing the media's blitzkreig on Joe 'the Plumber'...
