I found this on one of my favorite sites, mypointless.com I thought it was so funny that I would post it 'ere. This is an actual add by the way, the bottom pic is an enlargement.

Want a fun excursion for the weekend?
okay. Here's a great idea. Go underwater, surrounded by fish. Wear headgear that is tight and enclosed... and have your cat share the splendor with you.
memos: Cats hate closed spaces. They hate water. They have claws. Faces bleed.

Stacey and I went to my parents this weekend which means at least one thing.... STEAK.

I think my parents eat more steak than any other family I know. They recently bought fifty steaks at one shot for the back freezer.... FIFTY!!! Rib-eyes, New York Strips, T-bones you name it and it's sitting in the freezer. Any way, we went over to see them and of course we're cooking (usually over-cooking) the steaks on grill in the back. Stacey is floating in the pool with my mom, my dad is sitting on a chair next to me. The sun is beating down on us but not in an uncomfortable way. It really was a great afternoon until....

I walk over to the grill, planning on turning my steak after the prescribed four minutes or so (for meduim) when I see from the bottom edge of the grill the evil flames. I'm thinking, "boy there must be a flare up." Upon opening the grill I find no flare up, no, I find every steak engulfed in the mockingly joyful dance of orange flames. The steaks were more than flame kissed. If that was a kiss it was a shockingly big, wet and sloppy one. The steaks were toast, but only on one side. Dad braves the flames to turn the meat if only to slightly toast the other side after the flames had died down. Nothing however saved them. They were black and chared and grilled so far past medium so that I thought they had been substituted for shoe leather... :( Stacey and I ate our steaks while listening to my uncle, "Y'know for the char these arn't to bad..." Oh well, que sira.

I really detest television. I am happy to report that collectively I have watched maybe two or three hours of television in the last year or so. Typically Stacey and I will watch a movie, read, or play a game to enjoy the time (not just pass it).

Nearly equal in my frustration are video games....

I just don't get the level of dedication that teens afford these things now. World of Warcraft for example, you pay for the disks then you pay every month for a subscription to the online site, not just to play with other people but to play past the first couple of levels period! This bizarre addiction is turning the minds of our youth to mush.

To prove my point, I offer the following...

Daisy, Eggs, and Lightning

Here are some pictures of recent haps around the Duncan hood...

Daisy following Camma, the cat. Camma photos are a rare treat, so enjoy them!
For Easter, Mike and I dyed eggs for the first time! Yay! Here are some of the fun pics...



Hmm...we had a storm one night, and before the storm hit us, I was able to practice my lightning shots from our back patio door! This was my first time taking lightning pics, so I was pretty proud! The last one is the best.

Daisy playing with Mike

Mike and I decided to make a video for for our parents (and anyone else) to be able to see our puppy, Daisy, since they live down in Houston. So here is a video I took of Mike playing with our puppy!

Ben on the Ancient Crapper in Israel

I have to look through thousands of pictures for Ancient World, one of Dr. Spencer's classes. In class he doesn't use notes, he simply shows slide shows and explains from the pictures. I'm taking it as an independent study, so I don't actually go to class, so I have to look through all the pictures and write a journal of them. Apparently my good friend, Ben, has become a star in Ancient World due to his expressive use of the Ancient Crapper.

Just for Ben Welcome to the Blog world

As a welcome, I thought I would concede Superman as the greatest superhero of all time.
