Happy Turkey Day!

This day is often referred to as Turkey Day in the slacker way that some people use to be overly casual about certain events in a weak attempt to display aloofness in the vain hope that they will be perceived as cool. I am not one of those people. I… Read More »Happy Turkey Day!

Samhain

I was dreadfully unprepared for this year’s Halloween. Including not buying pumpkins and candy until Saturday morning, not running firmware updates on my Blu-Ray player until Saturday night and not doing any decorating at all.

Jesus Christ Pose

Last night was Good Friday. At the conclusion of our church service the congregation walks by a simulation of the crucifixion. I’m not going to pretend that this is one of my favorite things that my church does, but I took a few pictures since Logan played Christ. I guess… Read More »Jesus Christ Pose

Philosopher’s Wax
