An Observation on an Age Old Question

 
  *What  deep thinkers men are...*

  I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.

 The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking on various topics.
 

Finally I thought about an age old question:

 Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

 Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts.

 Well, after another beer, and some heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with the answer to that question.

  Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby; and here is the reason for my conclusion.

 A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."

On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would  like another kick in the nuts."

 I rest my case. Time for another beer.



And a word from Maxine!!

 One of the things I have truly enjoyed about where I've lived the past two years is the roof, where one can have a garden, have terrific views for photography, or just to enjoy the beauty! I've done a little of all of them!!

April has put a spirit of youth in everything!

 I guess that since I've been in Seattle the past six years, and once I got caught up in photography, one of the biggest parts of my world has been the skies and I do spend a lot of time looking up!! And in more ways than one!  I know you see skies all the time on my blog, but here are some more and I hope you don't get tired of them! May all of you have a wonderful week -- lots of joy, laughter and beauty!!!

The pleasantest things in the world are pleasant thoughts: and the great art of life is to have as many of them as possible.   Montaigne
