Here’s a deadly combo here at the House of Fielding:

I’ve removed my ability to purchase in one click, but this doesn’t seem to curb the impulse. There’s a world of music out there as expansive as the world itself. And, in fact, in many ways more accessible because [...]

Hugh curled up with David in the easychair. Hugh always has to be as close to David’s face as catly possible.

(David’s head isn’t really that shape, it’s overblown by the lighting and cameraphone-quality capture.)

David resumed chemotherapy today, and it will continue weekly for the time being. Hopefully this means any sort of reaction will be kept to a minimum. MRI Thursday, radiation Friday, chemo again on Monday, the rest we’ll find out as we go along.

Today’s craving after chemo: liverwurst sandwiches, with mayonnaise and raw onion.

I’m SERIOUS.

Kermit comes along in the Piper Tri-Pacer and gives a safety demonstration. Wear your seatbelt!

I think this year we’ll decorate the porch. I need to get some pumpkins and get carving, though, the neighbours have put us to shame.

(These aren’t our neighbours, they’re across town. But look at those lights!)

There are some people at the bottom of the hill that take holiday decorating to such extremes that the local authorities put up arrows directing people through the alley because of the traffic. They only finished last night, so I don’t have any shots yet. Apparently, David says they have motorised mummies and all get out!

Came upon using Flickr’s “Interestingness” algorithms; this one’s by brooklyn dauphin.

I wish Hugh slept in the sink, because then if he fell asleep and peed (as he is wont to do EVERY DAY), it wouldn’t require the major clean-up it does now. Well, I suppose we’d have to clean him up.

my Big Kid [photo by gail on the web]
After waves of bad news throughout September and October — interrupted only by our wedding — I’m happy to report a plateau-ing of sorts. I wanted to wait a little while lest it was a fluke, but steady progress over recent days [...]

More from Friday’s little foray around Nay Aug Park. (Can’t help but want to say Egg Nog Park instead.)

I now take three cameras with me everywhere:

Asahi Pentax K-1000 (film)
Canon A80 (digital)
LG C2000 (VGA camera on phone)

Each give dramatically different results, so now it takes me three times as long in every place we go… to move on to the next place. David’s still getting around quite slowly these days, so it works out just fine, pace-wise.

Came across YouTube.com on a friend’s site, and think I’ll give it a whirl. Totally free, uses Flash, files are searchable with categories and tagging system. I put a scrolling list of uploaded videos on the left panel (scroll WAYYYYYY down).
I shot this last November — barrel rolling in the Piper Tri-Pacer!

Maddy’s big birthday cake by Allan & Cheryl
Whoa, now THAT’s a cake!
Miss Madeleine turned 4 years old and, like the little socialite that she is, did celebrate in Maddy-fashion… living large, even while small.

I phoned the Ms earlier and spoke to the birthday girl. Even from [...]
