A redux from 2005, because this photo gets a lot of hits every year around this time.

Sadly, I just can’t get into the spirit of this day, not just for obvious reasons but because on this day two years ago we also lost Vinny.

Music: “Soul Bossa Nova” by Quincy Jones
Since I missed Melissa’s birthday, I started rooting around in my archives of the kids’ birthday videos.
This was taken with the first digital camera I owned, the Canon A30, which had no sound and only 30 seconds of video at one time. (Amazingly, as far as I know it’s still working and the kids use it now and again.) It’s the first videoclip I ever spliced together, but still one of my favourites.
Miss Madeleine, the middle of the five Ms, was celebrating her first birthday and at the time had a host of baby allergies that she eventually outgrew. I bought her a carob vegan cake (!) because she couldn’t eat eggs or milk, and I think she didn’t like chocolate. In fact, I think she still doesn’t like chocolate.

This pic is nearly two years old. The kids are much bigger now!

A year ago, David and I went to see a Celtic rock band from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, perform at the Scranton Cultural Center for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.
Enter the Haggis! (March 12, 2005)
Since then I’ve discovered Youtube.com, so I’m reposting for the benefit of showing some of the video from the concert. The band gets a decent amount of airplay on public radio in Pennsylvania, but this clip highlights their energy and showmanship, too.
Arrived back from Washington, DC late last night, so I just decided to upload these four pics to Flickr that I rescued in Photoshop on the car ride home and hit the sack. I took these photos one year ago, visiting friends around France. The blog entries are here (or, just scroll up from the first post):
Paris!
Paris, avec Claire
Paris, avec Manu, then…?
Tour de France
We took TONS of photos in DC, and I have yet to upload them to Flickr. The process, at least for me, is usually as follows:
