Even more Highway 1 and the California coastline…

I forget if that is my second or third sunrise that morning… the sun kept going back behind clouds and fog and mountains and then coming back up again. I do know that this part of California makes me think … Continue reading

More pictures of my crazy drive down Highway 1…

Everyone on the planet should drive Highway 1 at least once in their life. It follows almost the entire coast of California and for sheer beauty it will compete with any drive of similar length anywhere in the world… I … Continue reading

Oh, I almost forgot that I am still doing a pictrure a day for Mr. Eric Idle to thank him for his help… except when I was at my mom’s house… because she dosn’t have Photoshop…

So is he rising from the water or splitting in half like an amoeba…?

I decided that to actually do the posts and pictures about my big adventure to the Bay Area backwards would be too confusing, so I am going to do it backwards day by day, but do each day in order… more or less… from when I woke up, instead of trying to do each day backwards too… got it?

So here we go… starting with yesterday… when I arrived back home… after a very long ten-hour drive… even though I started off closer to home than I was when I was still at my mom’s house… see how much … Continue reading

So, I spent the last week visiting my mom in the Bay Area, and I just got back, but tomorrow I have a tale of adventure to share… along with hundreds of pictures… and stories of cute kids and flying dragons and big sea mammals, and cities floating in the clouds, and crazy things I did where I actually risked my life… (and got up really, really early)… just to take some photographs that you will totally love, but the thing is… and you know when the thing shows up right in the title that it is going to be an whacky thing… but this is going to take quite a few days to get through, which means we have to put that game where you come up with clever names for my art with Art in it on hold for a while… oh, and I am going to tell the tale of my whole adventure backwards… just because I can… and because today was freakin’ AWESOME!!!

Oh.. uh… ummmm… I did such a good job with the title that there isn’t really anything left to say down here in the new and unimproved, harder to use, highly-annoying, beep-beep-boop, stupid, dumb WordPress not-as-good-as-the-old new post box!

The deep, sad and horrible truth about blogging… and no, this isn’t another rant about the stupid changes that WordPress keeps making even though we have all begged them to stop…

Here is the thing… we might as well get this thing out of the way quickly, because this is the worst thing out of all the things that somehow show up on my blog… but the thing is, you can’t … Continue reading

Oh where, oh where, has my head minion gone?

Oh where, oh where can he be? With his tongue so sharp And his wit so dry Oh where, oh where can he be…? (Come on… sing it with me now)… (The poor, wee Canadian varmint, he was probably trodden … Continue reading

I don’t know why I am in a poem-writing mood all of a sudden, but I am… so here is another one… that doesn’t have a name just yet…

Earth and sky have traded places Woven magic that time unlaces Footprints that the tide erases The darkness that the light displaces As nature puts us through our paces We each must argue our own cases Destitute of all good … Continue reading

The English language is evolving… and not in a good way…

So as soon as you, my loyal minions, and I take over this planet… by the clever and diabolical use of this seemingly harmless humor blog… here are some words that I plan to bring back into common usage. Perfectly … Continue reading

Another poem… called; She is the sea…

There she stands, a lovely lass Her countenance as smooth as glass But the stillness is deceiving Deep currents can change calm to heaving And anger can replace her glee She is the sea, she is the sea… Her past … Continue reading
