Do You Feel Like I Do?



Lately, when I'm not channeling Peter Frampton, I've been feeling like this grumpy looking fellow (just the curmudgeonly sqwinched up face, not the whole head on a pike thing).

If you'd rather make the shrunken head look out of apples than with your own face, visit Martha Stewart's Halloween Idea of the Day, today.

Wow, that is one weird looking miracle gourd. (I call it a "miracle gourd" since bearing some resemblance to the Savior, it could fetch a pretty penny on ebay, just like the "miracle toast.")

It's a dehydrated apple, silly. (Apparently you didn't follow my Martha link - perhaps you have something better to do, hmmmm?)

Although, we could have some fun carving them and trying to guess what famous dehydrated people they will look most like.

Besides me, I think this one looks like Waldorf from the Muppet Show.

That Martha, she's a hoot I tell you! At least this one is probable. Unlike those damnedably good-look cranberry wreaths that involve about three bags of cranberries, a box of toothpicks and last all of two days. That's what comes of being able to afford to have someone else do your crafts.

Oh, we made cranberry Christmas trees one year - ouch!

We're going to try these this weekend. I think I've done them in the past but they didn't turn out quite this well (shocker!). I may have missed the secret solution - but I don't remember them getting moldy. If they're decent, I'll probably post a picture of one around Halloween.

The Contest

Stephen and I spent this last week at the Objectivist Conference ( OCON ) in Boston. We started out the week staying in town, but finished it off commuting. As we stayed at the Seaport Hotel at the beginning of the week when we knew almost no one, we didn’t take advantage of the social atmosphere, but were happily sequestered in our room. After getting to know a few people, we dined, drank, and were generally merry with those few. Through the classes, general sessions, and referenced symposiums (in the ancient Greek sense), I left with a calmer sense of purpose, renewed motivation, and a smoldering desire to make the world a better place. By firmly placing the moral foundation under the tremendous achievements of the Founding Fathers first in my own mind, I then hope to help do so in the minds of others who have chosen the fundamental alternative to live, turning that smolder into a bonfire. One of the most immediately motivating things I learned at OCON this week regards the light tha

There's No Place Like Home

Vacation was fun, but I like being home. I guess I'm just boring that way. There was plenty of sun, sand, salt water kisses, family, food, and fun. Maybe it was the lack of tutus and tiaras. Now we're all experiencing a slight vacation hangover and need to rest. It's a good thing we have a few days before work and school.
