Super Happy Peanut Butter Wicked Super Time!

You look like a Subaru commercial.

I was trying to recreate the 'impossibru!' meme but forgot the grimace.

Apparently the dog is now UL Approved.

(That's a label from a roll of packing tape Mary was using. It apparently leapt up and grabbed Nikki's ankle as she Walked past).

"Well? Are we going out or what?"

The new aquarium is inhabited.





They're pretty energetic for fish.

One of the oaks in my yard.

(I was lying on my back when I took this).

painting i'm working on:

At Mom's for the weekend, I found this 50-year-old picture of Mom, my sister, me and Dad. We noticed immediately that Mom still decorates exactly the same way, so I thought it'd be cool to reenact it. My sister's son is sitting in for Dad. The painting and the lamp on the left are the same. The couch and the locations are different. The sconces are different, but Dad made both sets.

EDIT: Dad painted the painting too! It's his one and only attempt at an oil.

Some more gems from the fambly photo trunk. My grandmother, my father, and I all graduated 8th grade from the same school, which was the very first school in Franklin Lakes, NJ. Gram was from the very first class in 1909, before the town was incorporated and it was referred to as "The Campgaw area" (after the Lenape Indian chief Gaw, whose camp was there). Dad gradjee-ated in 1936, and myself in 1971.

Gram is second from the right in the '09 pic, and Dad is in the back row under the 6 in his. My class didn't take a group shot .

So, Forbin, are you ready to join the "they always come back" club?

In moderation. I don't have the energy for full-contact any more.

Huh. I think I dated your gram once.

Actually, my Dad is under 40 in the first pic, and my nephew is 42!
