Flip Video Action

This would've been better with extreme close ups but Jack wouldn't throw the Sheepie unless I stood outside the sunroom. You can probably get the gist of it in the first 10 seconds but might as well watch the whole 2:38

Survivor: Connecticut

The Divinity School hill turned out to be a bit much for O so he built a snow cave while daddy took a few solo runs.

Two dudes painting

I like this angle because it kind of looks like we know what we're doing.

'Tis the season

What the upside of not having enough furniture for your house ? You can cut down a big tree and put it in the middle of a room.





We went to a farm in Shelton ... my and O's first visit to a Christmas tree farm and it actually did snow for a bit. Julie was already a pro: she waited til I had it 3/4ths sawed and then took the goal-line carry.



Then it snowed more last night. O and I were out there by 7 this morning making Frosty Jr.

The Information Age

With the internets and the 24 hour news cycle, we get virtually instantaneous info on big news. But the info is pretty crappy, isn't it? First I heard Tiger Woods was in serious condition, then I heard he was in perfectly fine condition and was released from the hospital under his own power, then I heard his car flipped over, his mouth was full of blood and his wife had to bash his windshield in with a golf club to free him, then I heard he was hepped up on vicodin, peeled out of his driveway, ran over a fire hydrant and his wife came at him with a golf club because he was cheating on her. She may have also been hepped on vicodin . I would've been better off hearing 'something happened to Tiger Woods' so I could at least make up something good in my head. Though his wife coming at him in a jealous rage with a golf club is pretty good. Dude makes $100 mill a year in endorsements alone -- he can't afford a dent proof vehicle of some sort with shatter proof glass? And a robot to back his shatter-proof/dent proof car out of the driveway at high speed while he ducks down? Though I guess no need to duck in a shatter-proof/dent proof vehicle.
