Entry #4 of 5 of the Group Shirts Series. I may or may not be a member of a group known as “The Girls”. It seems to be somewhat dependent on the day, but for a long time, I was clearly on the outside of The Girls and then I… Read More »Confabulation
Rarely when I publish pictures do I explain the thought process, the technical information or the inspiration. If somebody is confused by a picture or intrigued by a picture I want them to come to their own conclusions. I feel by telling people too much about a picture, it cheapens… Read More »Coltrane’s 1st Wife’s Middle Name

This is a video of Jesse eating an onion. Why? Because he said that he could and Schmidt and I doubted him. Well perhaps doubt is the wrong term, because we wanted to see him do it. But now we have devised a new goal for Jesse. We want him… Read More »The Grand Slam
Last Friday was the first Ames on the Half Shell of the season. There was a pretty impressive turnout. I personally think that this can be connected to the incredible improvement in marketing between this year and last year. For starters, there is a sweet new logo: IMAGE LOST There… Read More »Ames on the Half Shell
The room that has proven to be the most work by far has been the kitchen. The walls took 6-7 coats of paint. Cranberry Punch I originally was considering a color called Raspberry Couli, but I had a lengthy conversation one day with Sara about red paint. She painted her… Read More »The Kitchen
