I was shooting some stuff for eBay and she couldn’t resist posing. Note her painted toe-nails courtesy previous owner. Right now she is on the sofa in my office chewing away on an Iams dental treat.

My sister’s son Luke is forging a very creative path shooting interesting shorts and music videos. He just started a YouTube page with the above documentary and another featuring The Last Shadow Puppets who are, apparantly, something big in British music. I think it’s Oasis and Angry Young Monkeys - no - Arctic Monkeys combined.

So I decided to ‘enlarge’. I looked at four string tenor guitars, but they are hard to find cheap. This Ovation was advertised at a good price on Craig’s list. I got the seller to knock $25 off so I ended up with a very nice acoustic/electric Celebrity at a very reasonable price. I know doodley-squat about geetars but I have always liked the look of Ovations and the laser cut sound holes are really cool. Mine is red quilted maple by the way - very purdy.

It has a much bigger sound than I expected and is more than loud enough played acoustically. I will put off getting an amp until I am a bit more proficient. Learned myself a couple of chords tonight, C & D, ordered the Hal Leonard Complete Course book and will change my uke lessons to guitar.

I am very excited about this and hope to enjoy it for a long time to come. Practice, practice, practice.

We went out for dinner last night to Culpepper Steak House in Rockwall, a very average steak house with great pretensions. They served me a rib-eye that was so eye-crossingly rank that, if we had been dining alone, would have been more than enough to exit post-haste or have the chef and manager come and wiff the offending steak and try to offer an explanation. I could smell its foulness as soon as it was placed in front of me - how the hell does that happen in 2008?

Don’t waste your (considerable) money at Culpepper Steak House in Rockwall - I hope Google spiders that.

Anyway. As we entered the restaurant a young couple, dolled up to the nines, was leaving. He in a white suit with black shirt and cream tie - her in a figure-hugging iridescent confection in beetle wing blue. Inside, behind H, was another couple. Both with fine Nordic blond locks. He in black shirt with cream westcot and cream tie, she in another iridescent gown with a lovely lattice back a la Renaissance Fayre. She had a floral arrangement attached to her wrist.

I understand that there is no irony reflected in these prom outfits…

H with the Nogs behind him.

Nick was a great wee fechter. He never really kent his own size and was always ready to let us know that although he may appear wee he had the heart of a great beastie.

For all the times that I have writ of his fowl breath it pains me, and Finn, that he breathes the stench of Hades no more.

But I fear not for the squirrel-like one. We have a greeting that we exchange when we pass or meet another of our kind - “May we meet again by the far post”. Thusly we are saying that when we pass on we will meet again, as friends, by the pissing pole on the other side.

And so I say to Nick “May we meet again by the far post.”
