There is something disturbingly incongruous about the lemon in his glass. Also, Tracy, I have seen Liquid Sky, both the original Spanish version, and the American version.

OMG it is!!!@!!

Yes! Look what else keeps jumping up! The garden is a magical place!

I know! Those dresses are so, so beautiful.

Handsome rainbow. I would have fried him up in a cast iron pan. Fresh trout is so very good. (apologies to catch and release dudes)

I took this opportunity to go play outside. OK, I mowed. But this is what I saw: Look at the proboscis on that thing!!

SAB?

Sorry, dude. Being sarcastic, and evidently failing miserably at it. 16 DAYS!!!!!!

Most of us would know you anywhere, Lou.

Dude, I was married to him.

I'm gonna go jack off to that picture RIGHT NOW!!!@@!! OMG!!!!!

I'm the one in the bibs.

God, I remember watching CNN, especially in the days after, and how human the reporters all seemed. I can't even remember her name, but she was there in the night, wandering from missing poster to missing poster, weeping. We all seemed a bit more human those days.

It's not out of the realm of possibilities that I should start wearing eye protection when I go into the garden. They are thick as bees out there. If they weren't such amazing fliers, I really might!

I know that Bethany was initially very sad to have both disparate memories in association. Which is part of the reason I posted: In this way both memories can coexist more comfortably.

I have a theory that the so called "territorial chasing" is a complex dance that hummingbirds do for fun. It is astounding to watch.

There's the rub. This day is a cultural touchstone, but it still has import for other reasons as well. Posting a beautiful picture of a gloriously happy day in my family's life doesn't sully or diminish the tragedy of that day in NY. Jesus.
