2011-06-04T15:52:00.000-07:00

This is me, eating journo food while reporting on caviar. The graphic is in today's paper, and I think you can see a greasy thumb print in the second illo down.

beach trip today

2010-07-10T18:38:00.000-07:00

We went to a local urban beach today to give hubby time to write. We had to fight off a dog named Diesel for ages. The dog eventually overpowered us and ate our fries. The owner sat in her lawn chair the whole time saying "Diesel, no...Diesel...stop" Once Diesel had bested us, he went on to attack some french toddlers ten feet to the west of us.

The image was done after the fact, the colours added are the only ones I remembered specifically. Ginger mohawk on coke baby. Excellent.
