This short video has my two favorite singers as back-up musical accompaniment. I’m hoping someday Joe and Cort will drop in and perform a song and dance for us. (Is this whining, La Rad?)

Mike,

Here’s the kind of movie (javascript) I usually look at, or sometimes make. This one shows yesterday’s partial eclipse of the sun as seen from space with an ultraviolet telescope.

Not a sunspot .

“Hello.”

“Hey, ______, where are you?”

“Where am I? I’m at college.”

“I know that, but where at college?”

“I’m in my room.”

“Studying again?”

“No, I’m about to play some football and then have dinner. Why’d you call?”

“I need to know when you ran into the back of my truck. That was two or three years ago?”

“Wait…that was the winter of my junior year.”

“So that’s three years. Junior, Senior and now Freshman in college.”

“No, that’s two years. Junior to senior is one and senior to Freshman is one more.”

“But… .”

“Don’t argue with me. I’m the mathematician. Why do you want to know.”

“I finally got the bumper fixed and I’m going to write it up. I’m not going to say who did it, but I will say how easy it was to fix and how stupid I’ve been.”

“How much did it cost to fix?”

“Forty-five dollars. And the estimate had been for fifty, but the guy said it took him less time than he figured.”

“That’s all? You can tell them who did it. I don’t mind, I learned something from it.”

“It was just an accident. Matt stopped in the snow and you didn’t. It’s not about you but me. How could I have waited two years? It’s been such a pain in the ass. With the bumper pushing against the tailgate, I could barely close the thing. And because the bumper covered up the hole which gives me access to lower the spare tire, I really haven’t had a spare. All that time, all that aggravation and for what?”

“Forty-five bucks. Go ahead, tell them I did it.”

Remo

Phone conversation:

Me: “Just your dog, Paxie, left now?”

Dan: “I’m afraid so.”

Me: “Did you do it at home”?

Dan: “No, we took Remo to the vet, and he put her down and disposed of the ashes.”

Me: “I’m sorry; Remo had been around a long time.”

Dan: “It’s so quiet around here… .”

Me: “With one dog.”

Dan: “Linda likes it so much she’s made an appointment for me.”

Jen’s idea, this potluck at our house, was a good one even though Mark failed to bring enough ribs. Good thing there were plenty of salads and vegetarian dishes from which to choose.

The two group photos below are nearly identical except I like the top pic where many of us are whistling for Karen and John’s dog, Jill, whereas Diane likes the casual look of the second. We had plans for a more festive, party-like image, but put us in a group and we revert to our polite selves.
