It seems that I need to post the 2011 Christmas card.  I must there isn't much creepy or awkward about this one.  Which is a bit unusual for me, as as the I find the 'pathetic' or 'angst-y' theme funny.   I guess I still sneak a subtle jab at the card in the text.  

This is a rare time that my 'comedy' projects are based on current events.  I like my humor independent of the headlines.  But this one seems to work for my purposes.

Anyway, here it is.

Well, that's good.

My good friend Steve has volunteered to help with my other blog.  Well, one of the other blogs.

Now if I can find someone to do my Spanish homework for me.

Good morning!

I am looking for a co-author or contributor to my blog on the notable residents of the Salt Lake City Cemetery.  If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please drop me a line.

Ides of Madness

I have a strange habit of tacking whatever project I am tackling on my wall.  March brings us this:

My March is filled with brackets.  I'm mocking up a new family tree poster (with new nephews and corrected dates - turns out I didn't have an ancestor end up in the US Virgin Islands) to print.  I'm also religiously following my March Madness bracket.  As you can see, it is going a bit better than last year, but I've still got a few more games to have it all come crashing down.

I'm also in the process of scanning photos from my grandfather's photo albums for a smugmug website.  I lost my Grandpa Hatch a few months ago.  Rather than see the family photos get divided up, stuck in shoeboxes and lost for decades, I'm preserving the albums online before we make actual prints disappear in someone's attic.  I've always had a fondness for the Grandfolks, so this seems like a good way to honor them.  I'd hope they would approve.

Last note, I've lost about 5 pounds, but I haven't been trying as hard as I should have been.
