How many ___ does it take to screw in a light bulb?

How many women with PMS does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None. Change it yourself, dammit!

How many surrealists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Goldfish on a tricycle.

How many hipsters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A totally obscure number, you probably haven't even heard of it.

How many therapists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Only one, but the lightbulb has to want to change.

How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

None. There is nothing wrong with the lightbulb; its conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom!?

Earth Day 2006

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature. Why is it okay for her to fool us?? Friday was a perfect day...warm and sunny...a day for shorts and t-shirts. Earth Day was windy and rainy/snowy as we prepared to clean up the Pass. 9 people from Blairmore came at 10 a.m. to the Gazebo for garbage bags and to 'sign in'. The wind was wild as we tried to hang onto the bags but luckily there was lots of garbage caught in the hedge so bags were soon weighted down. About lunch time, the wind had blown off to somewhere else. During the afternoon, the snow began to fall , big fluffy flakes that fell straight down like you see in a Christmas card scene. It was very pretty but not the sort of day to encourage anyone to keep on with the clean-up.

Tie dress!

Here's my prom dress! Mom and I made it over the past couple weeks. It's taken a loooong time but it turned out pretty well. There are still a few finishing touches to do but you can get the idea!

Just gloating now

It just feels good to out on the bike again after a loonnngggg lazy winter.

Willow on Her Chair

It used to be my chair. I really need to buy a couch. :)

Just got back from my first ride this year!

These are a couple of shots form the ride. The climb up was a little messy but the ride down was all swwet with a few thinnly placed patches of snow. Super fun!

What are you having for supper?

This was made for us by our good friends Stuart and Akiko. I think it is a little "payment" for helping them load up a giant u-haul with Stuart's log furniture. He was preparing to be in a large log home show in Edmonton this past weeekend. Not bad for a couple of hours work!

Rasterize!

You too can add your favourite pet pic to your wall! Or maybe the Eiffel Tower, Chichen Itza, the Grand Canyon, a zoom in of your nose, etc. It's free and super cool!

Mook has new TOY!!

This has become Mook's favorite new toy, what for the long whip able arms and legs! You should see her throw it around, she is the funniest thing!

Sitting together on a train, travelling through the
Canadian Rockies, were an American guy, a Canadian
guy, a little old Greek lady, and a young blonde
German girl with large breasts.

The Train goes into a dark tunnel and a few seconds
later there is the sound of a loud slap. When the
train emerges from the tunnel, the American has a
bright red hand print on his cheek. No one speaks.

The old Greek lady thinks: The American guy must
have groped the blonde in the dark and she slapped his
cheek.

The German girl thinks: That American guy must have
tried to grope me in the dark, but missed and fondled
the old lady and she slapped his cheek.

The American thinks: The Canadian guy must have
groped the blonde in the dark. She tried to slap him but
missed and got me instead.

The Canadian thinks: I can't wait for another
tunnel, just so I can smack the American again.

Married Again!!! I Never Thought It Would Happen But When It's Right You Just Have to Do It!!

Well, I've kept this fairly quiet over the past few weeks so I didn't have any calls or emails asking me if I was totally off my rocker but I guess I can tell people now since we're both sure about this. I met someone a while back, post-R, and we've decided we're going to get married in June of this year. Ya, it's only been a short time frame but when you're sure and you know its right well you just have to go for it. I've never felt this certain about what I was doing and to tell you the truth all of the dots are in such good order I know its time. I'll give you more details a little later this month about time and place and stuff like that. I am so happy!!! :)

Travel on the Company Dime

I'm not one to count my chickens before they are hatched, less disappointment that way, but the boss sent out a short email yesterday looking for volunteers who would be willing to travel to India to train a handful of techs to do our jobs with a small number of servers. My arm, in reflex action, shot up. I've been sorting out the passport requirements for Argentina in the fall but now I have to rush to get it ready to go in the event they need someone quicker. The good thing about this is that the location of the office is in the really warm part of the country and on the coast of the Bay of Bengal. Get out your atlas kids and look up Chennai.

Cats Are Not Evil (And They Have Talent Too!!)

All of this talk of evil cats and ugly ducklings got Willow a bit perturbed. At her request I am posting this, she tried typing but her feet only mashed the keys. Willow says to click on the link to Airborne Cats and then click on the "view as slideshow" option on the upper right side and sit back and marvel at the skillz these cats in Japan have. Please note: no mice, simulated or otherwise, were harmed in the making of these photos, we don't know where the fish are, and the bird cage door must have been loose.

HONK! (fixed it!)

1)In this scene, Laura played a goose. The geese tried to help return the ugly duckling back to his home, but the evil cat foiled their rescue! Laura is the one with the scarf and aviator hat (aka, in the second row, 4th from the right).


2) Here's Laura and Dad in the lobby.


3)Here is our little chicken in the glorious world of the backstage dressing room.

She did a great job!

Reporters to the Left of Me, Reporters to the Right!

As I stood in line for a bowl of soup in the food court of our building, Paul Hunter and Eric Sorrensen got in line behind me and chatted about the whole David Emerson fiasco.

Pop Tart Mattress

My mattress arrived in a cardboard box that was no where near to the size needed to hold a double mattress. An hour or two after I had cut it free from it's plastic prison it was close to full size, easily 12" thick and very comfortable.

We have a customer that come in just about everyday, she has a little son who is about 7 and can't get enough of Starwars! He has all tha toys and really enjoys bringing them by the shop to show me. His family went on a little vacation to Disneyland and there they have a MAJOR Starwars theme area?(is that what you call it) Anyway this little guy was just dynig to show me some of the stuff he bought! These are little M&M guys dressed as Starwars figures, theres even a Darth Maul!

An icicle that defies gravity!??

This thing is crazy! The rain spout come 2 feet from the wall and the bottom of the icicle almost touches the wall, but not quite! Just another crazy Pass siting!

Jessica's latest knitting project

This is one of my soon to be matching pair of Super Bad skully mitts. I'm totally excited!

Todays weather in the Pass

These shots were taken just a few minutes ago! This snow is after we had 48 hours of t-shirt weather and RAIN!!! Over night it turned to what you see and has been doing it all day!
