Background: Rich and Conrad were roughhousing. Conrad banged his foot on something…
Conrad: Papa hurt me.
Claire: Should we put him in time-out?
Conrad: No. He’d escape.
Orange Camouflage
Today, Julia drew a cheeto.
I promise to start posting about the other kids.
Julia’s Anatomy Study
Weston loves you
Claire and the kids were hanging out with our neighbors the other day. When it was time to leave, Weston waved and said, “I love you.” When Weston sees kids from the neighborhood across the street, same thing — “I love you.” He gets a great reaction and I wonder what would happen if an adult tried it. Next time I see someone I know, I’m going to wave and yell, “I love you.” …No I’m not.
Llama Dog
I asked Julia to draw a dog (a French bulldog — not a poodle!), and she draws a llama skeleton….and, as always, it looks hungry.
Trust. It’s the basis…
I’d like to think Claire trusts me with MOST things. When she sent me to Oregon to find a place to live, she sent my brother along to be sure I didn’t do anything…well, not bad necessarily…just weird. Her criteria was a good school district. Mine was a big tree or a funky space that I could make into my man cave. One of the places we looked at had about a zillion trees that were each about a zillion feet tall. If one of them fell, it would easily break the poor little house into a zillion pieces.
ps – The title of this post comes from the movie Some Kind of Wonderful.

Some Kindergarten Humor…Literally
Julia’s been learning how to spell lately. I need some help reading this one. Let’s take this one word at a time: YOU – WASH – YOUR – HANDS – AND – WIPE – ?…can’t figure out that last word….
Now I’m worried.
This is an elf trying to figure out how to get some toilet paper.
One thing I miss about New York
I can honestly say I miss New York….or miss some things about it. The Northwest and I are far more compatible. But I had a good fling with the big city. Even taking into consideration all the museums, galleries, world attractions of various kinds, the thing I miss most is the sunset on the rickety old rooftop water towers.
I made some limited edition prints of the water towers drawing. Have a look here.
