i went into the bedroom for something in mid-day and the cats were all sleeping. i must have made a noise to wake hopper up, and he had his tongue stuck out. he must not have been too awake, he left it sticking out for a while. after about a minute i grabbed my cameraphone and voila.
apparently nora reads my blog, and she wanted to get in on the sitting-on-dads-shoulders-at-his-desk action.
she usually doesn’t do this while i’m at the desk, so i had the opportunity to use the isight in the macbook pro to get a shot of dad & julie together. both the girls do this from time to time, but none of the boys do.
see what my wife does in her spare time? maybe next we can train them to paint.

that’s fahrenheit, not celsius. and when i went to move my truck this morning, the clutch is all screwy. great. update: my truck just left for the dealer on a flatbed. there was clutch hydraulic fluid flowing out of the slave cylinder inside the transmission. pricey!
while this time is usually dedicated to blathering on and on about top-ten lists and resolutions, i’ll take the opportunity to look at waking up in 2008, versus waking up in 2007. in retrospect, as i assemble this, it looks like i’m putting out an all-points bulletin for myself. data January 1st, 2007 January 1st, […]
