* * *So, in lieu of any real blogging, I’ll be bringing you this series of food horrors from the distant mists of ancient times. And trust me, these pictures are distinctly Lovecraftian. This is the food of madness!! . . . Behold, the nightmare that is "Eggs Casino"! (These pictures, the horror! But so, so funny.)

Indexed always makes me laugh A picture (or cute little graph or diagram on an index card, every day) is worth a thousand words. A sample:

What’s important is that we each make the best contribution we can. If you’re working in a job you hate just to pay the bills, you’re robbing this wonderful planet of the real contribution you could be making. I’m sure you have plenty of reasons why you must play it safe, but deep down you know they’re just fear-based excuses. Would your excuses still seem rational if you felt no fear? The world doesn’t need any more Einsteins working as patent clerks, no matter how worried they are about paying their bills. (Yeah, he's talking to YOU!)
the Silent K .Speaking of, I took the day off work today, and dropped baby George off at daycare. I intended to unpack some more and clean the house. Instead I listened to music all day, ate apple pie in the bathtub, and napped for three hours. (Ah, my kind of woman.)

Somehow back at home, support for the soldiers meant having a five-year-old kindergartner scribble a picture with crayons and send it overseas, or slapping stickers on cars, or lobbying Congress for an extra pad in a helmet. It's interesting that a soldier on his third or fourth tour should care about a drawing from a five-year-old; or a faded sticker on a car as his friends die around him; or an extra pad in a helmet, as if it will protect him when an IED throws his vehicle 50 feet into the air as his body comes apart and his skin melts to the seat. (These powerful words were written by a Kevin Tillman after the death of his brother Pat ~ they both joined the Army in 2002. Thanks, HDT for the link.)
That is all. Idea for this post shamelessly stolen from the overall (har har) blogger extraordinaire Jaquandor .
Hey Jayne:
Thanks for stopping by RoD. I've enjoy reading your blog and will stop by more often.

MB - actually, I found Res and AG via Blue Girl via you, so I can hardly say I found that site on my own! : )
