coming soon

I am coming to Utah next weekend for Grandma's 90th birthday party. Thanks to Marne for some help with the airlines.

And the Wild Things are coming to theaters in October:



Life is good.

raiders of the lost tiki-monks

My new office came with a trio of creepy tiki-monks that I was told must be kept or risk invoking some evil curse on our department. And since I am the last one to be hired, I have no one to kick them down to. Which explains how they ended up in my office - the last empty one.

So here they are. Larry, Moe and Curly (Curly is the really dark one on the right, I think). I put them up on the shelf kind of behind my door and then put my plant, Clyde, all anaconda-like around them to simulate jungle growth. The lost temple of Tiki-monks. No curse for me.


The campus is beautiful. St. Helen's has fresh snow. Here is today's shot as I walked over to get a cup of coffee from the student cafeteria. No Starbuck's here - college student coffee is very much like bad 12-step meeting coffee. What doesn't eat your stomach from the inside will only make you stronger. Hoffman girls RULE.

an amazing performance

Susan Boyle sang for the UK Britains Got Talent 2009 show, and I have not seen anything so amazing before. I tried to embed the video from YouTube, and it isn't working. So you just have to take my word for it and go to this link:

Beyond amazing.
