Over the last few days I have intermittently worked on some photos for a big product endorsement I’m going to be doing in the very near future. I asked a few friends to pose for the picture, without giving them any information. I would have thought that our friendship would… Read More »Mendacious
I started my Saturday by stepping on the basketball court at Beyer Hall for the first time in over a year. To be more direct, it was the first time I have stepped on any basketball court in over a year. On the court with me was Andree, Russell and… Read More »Spring Game
I said that I would not post a full image of Jay until he returned to Friday Night Supper Club. Tonight he made his return. To celebrate I post this old timey picture of a much younger and carefree Jay. Jay, Jesse and I had made plans to attend Cat… Read More »Smell the Mendacity
The Baiers and I took Nader out for supper tonight. He leaves for London to be reunited with his family on Saturday. He will be there for six weeks. That is excellent news for him, but that leaves me without a movie buddy. So I might put out a Help… Read More »Looking for a Scab
Scottie D. and his wife Melissa had their first child today. The child was a masculine child and they have named him Austin. I don’t have any pictures of the child to post at this time, but perhaps I will some time in the future.
My friend Mark’s March Newsletter. Easter Activities Greetings everybody. I know this is a little late, but March was an important month, so I do want to write a little bit about some things that happened. Of course, March brought Easter, the most important day for us! The day God… Read More »Taiwan Times – March 2008
I’ve been working on some commercial photography for Shannon’s company Little White Lye Soap. This Sunday was the most recent photo shoot. I can’t reveal any of those images yet, but I can show a couple pictures of Shannon taking pictures of her soap. Some soap pictures should be posted… Read More »LWL Photo Shoot
VEISHEA was cold. A little bit miserable. However, there were some highlights. It took me awhile to see them because I was pretty upset that the good fried cheese curd stand was not there, but I eventually got over it. Who am I kidding? I’m still fuming about it. I… Read More »VEISHEA
I went in to see Monica to get my quarterly shearing. Do you see a difference? I feel much better now.
I went to a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity at the Community Building with Teresa and Logan. It was a soup supper. The soup was served in a bowl made by a Boone County potter. You got to pick out your own bowl and you got to keep it. I… Read More »Habitat for Humanity Fundraiser
I went over to Suzie and Eric’s for T Night. I was pretty sure that the night would conclude with Suzie conceding that she was too far behind in the race for Monica’s Friend of the Year 2008 that she should just do the gracious thing and bow out of… Read More »T Night
My good friends the Baiers are active with a group known as CASA. They are having a fundraiser this week. Take a look at their poster. IMAGE DELETED What is CASA? The shorthand version is that they help children with crappy parents. The long version goes something like this: In… Read More »CASA Fundraiser
This is the new must see movie of the year for me. It appeals to everything I love about movies. VIDEO DELETED I might try to re-assemble the old Rambo platoon for a viewing. I might need Baier to guilt trip Russell to get him there though.
2005-William McAlpine 2006-William McAlpine 2007-Tim Peterson Now the name Mark Wolfram will sit proudly next to theirs. The miracle comeback of Kansas made them champions. It also made Mark the third champion of The Roundball Oracles (An NCAA tournament pool). The Final Standings: Mark Wolfram (Taiwan Hoops) 136 points Lowell… Read More »The Roundball Oracles: Year 4
I’ve had some strange encounters with members of the Class of 1993. My home loan officer is from that legendary class. I ran into a member from the class at a nursing home. Then I met a member of the class during Fellowship at church. Interesting.
I got a new toy for the camera in the mail yesterday. I did some experimenting with it. I know some cynics out there are thinking: “Wow you bought a toy that takes blurry pictures, congratulations.” I would only respond with a smile and say, “Yes I did!”

I got home from a Jaycees meeting tonight. We were able to hammer out the details of the band contract. This was actually way more difficult than I figured it would be. It included some quite lively debate about whether or not we should follow the law or not. I… Read More »Acceptance
Last night I went to the Varsity with Nader to see Chicago 10. This is a fascinating documentary about the trial of the Chicago 7, 8 or 10 depending on what name you want to use. The film mixes animation with archival footage. I’m not fan of hippies, yippies, Democrats,… Read More »Chicago 10
I’ve started the process of creating new photo galleries. I’ve decided to finally update my photo galleries and have stumbled across a new way of doing the galleries. I just need to get Frank to install MySQL and PHP on his server. He doesn’t like installing new things, so between… Read More »Coppermine
I can’t lie. I was shocked that Jeff was actually signed up. He began to make the slow walk up to the stage. He was staggering and was having difficulty making it. In fact he was so slow getting up on stage that the David Lynch character wannabe in the… Read More »Thursday Night with Kountertop (Pt. 4)
