And here's a photo he took last night of the moon in Dallas!!  Don't expect my shots to be this good for some time!! He's much more talented than I am!  But I had to share this with you! Isn't it awesome!!!

A Guy Fairy Tale!

 Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess... Will you marry me?
The Princess said, NO!    
And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles
And went fishing and hunting and played golf
And dated women half his age and drank beer and scotch
And had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up.

The End

cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever.  Mark

A Wonderful Christmas!!!

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas!! I surely did and it was wonderful to be with my kids for a few days. I realize now that many of you thought that my going to Portland for the holidays was the permanent move, but that won't be until April when my lease here expires. So this visit was  just for the holiday fun and it  was fun indeed!! But wouldn't you know!!! My camera got "ill" and I've had to rely mostly on my son's photos!! But the good news is -- David got me a new camera for Christmas, but it was late arriving and I won't have it in hand until tomorrow! So much for Christmas photos this year, but I will share some of the kids photos later! In the meantime here are the newly weds yesterday!!

How about those smiles!!!
