Late Breakfast with the Old Man

My friend, the professor of poetry and New Testament Greek, hasn't been up to par of late.  Felt chipper enough for a late breakfast yesterday evening...almost back to his stoic self...

Sunday Funnies: It's Your Fault Mr. Larson!

The Christmas Santa came bringing our first collection of Gary Larson's twisted Far Side cartoons was the best Christmas ever!  Larson retired but a whole generation continues to be influenced by his humor...

Gary Larson's original idea...

Inspired by Larson's original...

This week's bad joke:


The first inhabitants in North America arrived after they got their BEARIN STRAIT! (from Pretty Good Jokes www.prairiehome.publicradio.org)

Those Moody Blues

While I was looking through photographs for this color post, I found it a little ironic I had so many shots with blue the central color...compensating for the lack of the hue in nature...possibly...

Late Lament


Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent


Impassioned lovers wrestles as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young


Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decided which is right 
And which is an illusion?
~Graeme Edge from the song Nights in White Satin

The Entropy Project

It could be I've become more keenly aware that time marches on...that or I just find as time breaks down the subject becomes more fascinating...a few from The Entropy Project (on going).
