Video Application



There was a marketing outreach for the "best job in the world" to get people interested in the Australia Barrier Reef. The job really did exist and if I won I would have got $100,000 to stay in a nice house on an island in exchange for one blog a week. Sounded right up my alley. To apply, I had to make a video application. With the help of genius photographer (and now videographer) Brian Lee, and his editor this is what we got. The only problem is that it wasn't completed until the last day and the website server was too full to accept it. I guess over 30,000 people applied so they had a strict deadline and warned people not be last minute. Oh well, guess I won't be moving to Australia. It was super fun anyway. What do you think of my acting debut?

Frozen in!





I got my snow day people!  My boss texted me at 6 am with this message "The office will be closed today due to inclement weather".  I'm all for professionalism, but there are 3 people in our office (including her).  I don't care, NO WORK!  So, I bundled up to see what my yard looked like, and these were the only bits of color I could find.  I think that rose is pickled!

Our friend Scott came to visit on the bus.  He is the most talented musician I know and he has been playing his guitar all day.  I wish he would never go, his songs are so beautiful.  Taco is in love with him.  I've never seen him so attracted to a stranger.  He keep leaning over towards him and finally jumped from my hand to Scott's knee.  Naturally, Scott is terrified of him.
