A goal, an assist, two other shots on goal, lots of grinding it out on shifts = team hard hat award. Proud of this kiddo and his efforts today.

If it’s not becoming obvious, I also like owls. In one of those alternative-career fantasies, I’d love to work with owls in some capacity. Magnificent birds of prey.

Portrait of a Royal Bengal tiger by anekphoto on Flickr.
Given my love of tigers began well before attending the local university which used the big cat as its mascot, I’m always on the lookout for great photos of the beast.

Growing up, my Dad always used Rosie Grier as an example of not giving one goddamn about gender roles. I think I knew who Rosie Grier was by the time I was four or five.
Rosie Grier was exactly whom my parents pulled out as an example for me to learn to cross-stitch.
Former orphanage roommates meet again. on Flickr.
Tonight we met some Facebook friends for dinner. They were in town and wanted to meet up. Their little gal was adopted two months before we got our little guy.

Vought A-7 Corsair II on Flickr.
The A-7 was based on Vought’s successful supersonic fighter, the F-8 Crusader. It’s airframe was shorter and lighter than the Crusader’s. The Corsair II replaced the A-4 Skyhawk in the US Navy’s inventory, as well as a variety of other aircraft in the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard.
My dad worked on A-7s aboard the USS Kennedy as an avionics technician.

we need more of these, who makes these? can I commission more. Need more.
Crying.
The part that had me laughing the most was the bottom one. That is my life. Every. Night.

2012-13 DSYTHL Squirt Green Champions on Flickr.
I’m so proud of these kids and the hard work they put in this season. It was humbling and amazing to watch them on their journey as a team, bonding and learning to play together.
I told our coach at the beginning of the season that I didn’t care if we lost every game, so long as the kids had fun and all ended up a better hockey player than they began the season. I meant it.
For there to have been across-the-board improvement, AND the team finishing in second place for the regular season, AND going undefeated in a tournament in Colorado, AND winning the league championship to cap it all off: the stuff dreams for your kids are made of.
“I asked for a Kitchenaid mixer for Christmas, I pointed my wife toward a broken one on eBay so that I could refurbish it, as I was taking it apart I got some inspiration for the paint job and this is what came out of it, still needs a phase board for speed control and two decals to be applied to the sides but I couldn’t wait to share.”
We were really excited when we finally got our very own KitchenAid mixer, but looking at this awesome customized Boba Fett Mixer, painted by DeviantARTist tommyfilth, we’ve realized that just having and using the mixer isn’t enough. Now we’re scheming to come up with our own way to turn the mighty appliance into an outlet for geeky self-expression.

I love this one for the dialogue.
(The LEGO set work is impressive, too.)
