I can’t get enough of snow on trees. The oak in particular.

tcr! tcr! · Feb 19, 2018 at 7:21 pm

It’s about the only good thing of winter.

You’re welcome! We have no shortage of snow on trees up here. That’s tism featured in the last pic.

tcr! tcr! · Feb 22, 2018 at 6:49 am

Is all this within walking distance from you guys’ place?

keamoose keamoose · Feb 22, 2018 at 8:05 am

Yeah, this is all within about a 1 minute walk. The last one was taken on the way home from work.

tcr! tcr! · Feb 22, 2018 at 9:02 am

A glorious wilderness indeed! I especially like the dark navy blue sky in that last one. It’s almost a fairy tale to Narnia with the wooded path and all.

keamoose keamoose · Feb 22, 2018 at 9:32 am

I have been known to refer to it as the magic forest.

Sara​​ and I have been watching Fences and I had to take a break. I told her that I feel like Denzel has been yelling at me for the last two hours.

To spoil the spiritual message for all of you, Fences is about unwarranted forgiveness.

Yeah, it seems as if I’ve posted pictures of these guys over and over again, but seriously, they’re the only natural thing I wanted to take pictures of. Plus, these are a new crop.

A get-together this coming Saturday

tcr! · Feb 17, 2018 at 4:46 pm

Audio (MP3): 20180217 - A get-together this coming Saturday

I’m *thinking* about having a get-together this coming Saturday, February 24th. If you’re reading this you’re invited. It would be a social mixer of sorts with snacks and drinks. No, I’m not making you all dinner. Tater-tots could possibly be available.

It would be kid friendly, too, since Maggie would also be hosting. Also, since you all know me you know that I don’t drink anymore. It’s not that I didn’t like drinking, it was more that I didn’t like to stop drinking. Yes, you could bring a bottle of wine but no boxed wine. You could bring a bottle of your favorite stout but no six-packs. You get idea.

Now hold your horses. This also isn’t some get-together where you tell your friends and then people fill my house like it’s an 80s movie. Kelly LeBrock wouldn’t be showing up the next morning with her science magic to put the furniture back in place. However, I may put on Oingo Boingo. I may also channel John Huges, maybe Ferris Bueller would be on the TV.

Before I go full-tilt with this kinda thing and decide to *actually* do it, is anybody interested?

Tater tots, Oingo Boingo, Ferris Bueller! Now that’s a party!
If you *actually* do it, and I’m back in town, it would be an honor to be there.

tcr! tcr! · Feb 17, 2018 at 5:01 pm

You’re definitively invited to the tentative get-together then :)

tcr! tcr! · Feb 17, 2018 at 5:02 pm

“definitively” — where do these words come from? I’ve never heard that word in my life.

Kelly K · Feb 17, 2018 at 5:03 pm

Thank you. I tentatively accept. Let me know what I can bring (if this fiesta goes down).

Dude, I would totally come! You’re, like, right down the road from me. However, it’s my BF’s birthday this week, and that’s fancy date night. But seriously, at some point I’d love to bond over 80’s movies and snack foods and desserts. .

Chet (Bill Paxton) was Wyatt’s mean older brother in the Weird Science movie.

“…and the next morning, Chet uncovers the disarray in which the house is — including the missile and his catatonic grandparents”

Ye old anti-climatic climax

tcr! · Feb 17, 2018 at 8:00 am

Audio (MP3): 20180217 - Ye old anti-climatic climax

Blue Goose of St. Charles, Illinois

There’s an Italian mobster that lives up the street from me. He looks Italian but maybe he’s Greek. I’ve never talked to him but we’ve exchanged waves at the communal mailbox. I have a theory that he’s in the witness protection program although I don’t have proof to back that up. After seeing him mow his lawn I suspect he doesn’t like egg noodles and ketchup.

His daughter is Egyptian. Well, one year for Halloween she was dressed up as a pharaoh so I don’t know if that actually qualifies her as being a true Egyptian.

True. His daughter was wearing one of them striped nemes once and I mistook her for an Egyptian monarch. However, unless you live in my neighborhood we may be talking different people.

WAIT. I see where this is headed. What do you know about the OJ forecast?

Went on many shopping trips to Blue Goose as a kid, remember when a customer backed up into a another car in the parking lot and pushed it into the river! The staff was always beyond amazing, personable, and helpful and my mom knew the manager by name.

I don’t get the Clarence Beeks reference. I googled him and remember the character but I don’t understand his significance.

tcr! tcr! · Feb 19, 2018 at 1:28 pm

In Trading Places, Clarence was the guy giving the orange crop forecast to Winthorpe and Valentine in the dark parking garage. It was a covert operation of course. His character was also always in it for himself.

tcr! tcr! · Feb 19, 2018 at 1:32 pm

Okay, referencing Beeks was a bit of a stretch. 😊
