Video Switch

Video Switch

See, when I was a kid, we didn’t need a three way video input switch because we DIDN’T HAVE SQUAT.

Ah well, we do want to provide for the young ones, and you can see I’ve held them to the PS1, a mini-dvd player, and hidden on the other side of the tv, a Midway emulator.

Oh, and we got the TV free from a college age dude who was getting ready to take it to Goodwill.

Good times…

Christmas Pix

Christmas Pix

Hey, at least I got this gallery up before January ended. A note to my future self: everyone was really sick at Christmas. If you don’t’ look as happy as you think you should, that’s why…

Kerr Lake

Kerr Lake

we went for a short 50 mile ride up the state to see the Kerr Lake recreation area. Beautiful! there aren’t enough people in the area to create any real pollution, so the fish in the lake are edible, and there are many of them. we will look forward to going back when the weather warms up just a little…so we can teach Xak to fish…

Nova’s First Birthday

Nova’s First Birthday

With us all feeling poorly around the holidays, we had to put off throwing Nova a birthday party. Now that we are all on the rebound, we had a little costume party for her First.

Click on the pics for the BIG version.

Naturally, Daddy came as the Devil, the likeness being somewhat uncanny:

Mommy is a Gypsy Princess, Xak is Hero Guy, Sake is Rabid, and Nova is REPTAR!!

Nova got a horridly huge hunk of birthday confection….it’s tradition that your first real dose of refined sugar is on your first birthday…I know, Madness.

It would appear that some of us are a lot more interested in it than others of us…

At first, mild interest:

Then, growing fascination:

and, for those of you who remember Jim Stafford, this happens:

Happy Belated Birthday to NOVA!
