Joe ended up injuring his arm and I learned that only a dumbass would work on roofs for a living.

Also for Betsy

This painting is hung in my parent’s bedroom. It’s possible I was conceived beneath its cool blue artwork. How romantic!

Blue Velvet Painting

If anyone is ever stumped for a birthday gift for me, something like this would do.

Happy Independence Day

Liberty Island and Flag

I’m not much for parades and fireworks, but

seeing our flag wave still chokes me all up.

I swiped the photo from here.
