Oh, Did I Not Mention…

I have some mad pumpkin carving skills.

Pirates ‘n Apples

Ever had one of those weekends where, at the end, you felt like you should feel a whole lot better about the whole thing than you actually do?
Hm. Perhaps that thought deserves a bit of background info.

Missing Blue Skies

(Kind of a vent, kind of a wandering post…)
So, what do you think of the picture below?

Smoky Moon

The moon tonight over Los Angeles, seen through the smoke from, well, everywhere…

The day was, actually, pretty good.

(Last of the vacation posts should be up tomorrow.)
Well, so far, so good. After an entire day at work yesterday, the upgrade of the software seems to have gone okay.
Of course, that’s only half the battle.
