feet and other scary things.

I wanted to share a couple of things. First, this is the pumpkin we carved the other night. It was fun doing it together. William and I went back and forth with using the knife, and deciding the best way to rotate the pumpkin while cutting. William bought a kit with the papers to tape on, a crayon to mark the dots, a scooper to scrape out the insides, and of course a jagged little knife to follow the cutting marks. We have two more to carve yet. Hopefully tonight. OOOh, uuuh, Oooh.

Now, speaking of cutting... This is Dr. Firestone who has been working on my feet for the last two months, or so. He has been very good at listening and trying to do what is best to fix my damned feet. I happened to catch him on a dressed up day. I don't think he could do all the slicing on feet, as he does, in nice clothes every day. I don't think actually does all that much slicing. He might have inspired Saw IV, but I don't see it. But he is someone I recommend if ever you have pediatal problems. I know that isn't a proper term, but it works for me right now. Anyway, he has been working on my feet so I can wear something like these shoes to the Ms Adams Morgan party we went to. Enjoy the pics.
PS Notice the feet. I thought that was some good shooting on my part.

the cool, the cooler, and the ultimate in coolness

Here are some of the photos from this path two months. I was really happy with the way things turned out for the Ms Adam's Morgan Contest. Please remember the way this works. There are 10 contestants that dress in "Drag Absurd," and there are 2,00 people in the audience coming to see them. And half of us are dressed up, as well. There are a lot of good looking and then the not so good looking. We went for the not so category. The theme this year was "TV Land." So, I found Rudolph the red nose reindeer cotton that William is wearing. "The Pink Panther" that Yvonne is wearing. And I am in some "Thomas the Tank Engine" fabric. Robin did most of the sewing for the robes. Fun pants and Corsets all in Black. Mine was Leather. Ooops. We were well received, but certainly not one of the extremes by far. Below that There are two ladies that were quoting Shakespeare when Edvard and I walked into the pet store called Doggie Style." It wasn't that they were young black ladies as teasingly accused me of, but more so that I was in a pet shop where they were joking with each other what there favorite Shakespeare lines were. They were awesome to listen to in the fact that they were funnin' and brainin' at the same time. Below that Mathew and William came to me when I was in the hospital 3 weeks ago. First William then Mathew. I had a reaction on the way home with the food in my hand that I needed to stop it. Anyway, William called as I was coming around to consciousness as they were rolling me into the hospital. As I pulled it out of my pocket the ambulance guy said, "Yeah, that's been doing that for the whole time." It was William asking where I was. I guess he was missing his dinner food. The thing is I was a half a block for the house when I went down. He came to the hospital relatively quickly, and then Matthew. We ate our dinner which I still had with me, and they made me drink orange juice. They said when I was checking in that my blood sugar was below 20. That is low in Diabetic speak. I replied I was shooting for 8. Then Matthew and William started a friendly which quickly turned into the absurdist conversation debate that Shelley and I love to listen to.

Ah well, we live, and unfortunately the bird in the picture did not. It isn't pretty, but it is death art. The crab meat package saying "Crab Elite," "with real crab added" was just too good to pass up. The doll I saw while walking Edvard. Thought it was cool.

Enjoy the pics.
