Nancy Sinatra, where are you now that we finally need you? Although, on second thought, I'm not too certain that these particular shoes are one's made for walking.

There's nothing quite like being at the beach on a warm day. It's sort of like being at a football game, but with fewer clothes. Or, being on a rush-hour subway train, but with sand. Or, like being at a President's Day department store sale, but brighter.

There's so much going on here, it's hard to know where to begin. How would a cultural archeologist begin to decode what's being communicated here? It's like a telephone call from another planet. It's like a dream you wake up half remembering. It's like a bounced check. It's like a jig-saw puzzle missing twelve critical pieces. It's like nobody's business.

A image that is extravagantly mute.

There's a certain kind of light that turns the heavens blue. There's a certain smile you show me. What kind of Blue are you?

Stumble It!

When they talk about the Blues, I think that this is maybe what they have in mind.

It's morning in the city. Do you know where your desk is?

Stumble It!

So many places to go, so little time.

This house is across the street from where I live. It's a great house, no doubt about it. The daughter of the original builder of this house still lived here when we moved into the neighborhood. She was 90-something and pretty far gone. She lived in one room downstairs and had a nurse come in every day to take care of her. Termites had eaten a 6 foot hole in the dining room. The fuse box down in the basement had room for 2 fuses. She didn't need a lot of electricity, I guess. After the daughter died, some young folks came in and fixed the place up. The paint job on the outside, I'm told, cost $30K. Its held up pretty well. It's still a heck of a house. It looks better than any McMansion I have yet to see.

Stumble It!

She saw it all.

They have been friends for a long, long time.

He sang: "I went down to the river, but the riverbed was dry.
I saw the souls of every man coming after me who'd ever been alive;
Crying 'Mercy! Mercy! Have mercy on me! We've been to Heaven but we did not like what we did see'"

In High School I can remember that there was a lot of enthusiasm around the concept of "Pep". "Pep" was something that you were supposed to have, along with things such as Hair, Limbs, A-Quest-For-Knowledge. Leaders had "Pep"; Losers did not. "Pep" was what got you through or got you over, along with a Sunny Disposition and A Positive Attitude. I can't quite say that I possessed any of these attributes. I certainly don't have much "Pep" now; even after a Grande Espresso with an extra shot. But, in a way, from the perspective of 2006, "Pep" doesn't seem to be such a bad thing. The person pictured above, I would say, most certainly has it, and it looks pretty good.

Stumble It!

The Fall colors are out.
