Monster - not quite Hunger, but close

This guy isn't done yet, his head is still open. He's based on the orange "Hunger" monster from the latest round of Weight Watchers commercials. He needs eyebrows, and maybe eyelids. I'm not a huge fan of the eyes. I wanted something bigger, but they didn't have any at the store. He's still kind of cute. 24 inches tall. Made out of fur I had bought on sale, longer haired stuff would look more like the monster. We shall see, he wasn't that difficult to make - took an evening for all this. maybe he needs elbows...

Jim Thorpe, PA - Broadway House

I spent the night after the concert in the Broadway House part of the Inn at Jim Thorpe. The picture of me is in front of the Asa Packer mansion which is in the last set of pics.

Mauch Chunk - Jim Thorpe, PA

Took a trip to Jim Thorpe, PA to see a concert at the opera house. It was freezing cold so I didn't get a lot of great shots, but I figured I'd share.

Snow

Snow is much nicer than ice. Although all the ice is still underneath.

icy weather

Dangerous to drive or walk in, pretty to look at.

If you want to sing out, sing out...Cat Stevens

Not sure why, but this song hit a chord in me. I finally watched Harold and Maude, and it was a good movie, kind of sad, kind of happy. But this song was a big theme throughout, and I liked the tune and the message, so I wanted to share.

If you want to sing out, sing out
by Cat Stevens

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
cause theres a million things to be
You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
cause theres a million ways to go
You know that there are

You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
You see ah ah ah
Its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
cause theres a million ways to go
You know that there are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
cause theres a million things to do
You know that there are

You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
And if you find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
You see ah ah ah
Its easy ah ah ah
You only need to know

Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
cause theres a million things to be
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are
You know that there are...

Thanksgiving fun

So we all went to a petting farm over Thanksgiving in Virginia Beach and here are a few of the creatures we saw. First, who knew there were so many different types and styles of chickens. Second, what do camels think of living in VA?
