our song is a slammin' screen door...

this old man, he played one, he played knick-knack on my thumb.

er.

birthday wishes are in order for karl (today!) - i won't tell you how old he is but just that he is getting up there (27). i chose this picture b/c i think it showcases one of his finest (dumbest and fun-nest) ideas of 2007. the slip and tarp. nothing says 'keep it young' like racing for beer down a tarp covered in dish soap and canola oil (i still get an occasional canolawhiff from my closet. and it makes me smile.). it also showcases his love of all things sprinkler and his pretty lawn. because life wouldn't be right without perfect blades (of grass) in the front yard.

he is pretty nice. i guess i will let him live till his next birthday.

where shall i take him for dinner?

Happy birthday, my friend!

That is an amazing pattern carved with love into that grass. I've always thought that. Really, it's true- I've noticed.
