okay so i lied about no more dailies for while. its all facebook's fault not mine! seriously! ;-) .  they seem to have a limit of 420 characters per post, what's up with that? pretty limited for us erudite, NOT garrolous or pedantic take note!, folk who have the 'typin pneumonia, and the communication flu' , i got the rockin and boogie woogie types too but that's a whole nother story ;-) . anyway my doggerel was a whoppin 550 characters and was flatly rejected, as was my desire to have dedmanshootn included in my name listing there it would seem. i mean, since my dad's mom died anyway, no one anywhere calls me by my full given name, i'm just "dave" or "ded" tp [retty much everyone who knows me so how the heck are they supposed to fgind me on facebook without 'ded' in there somewhere? i'm appealing the decision of course. i get quite contentious when i have a migraine.... grrrr :-) anyway i hope you like this pic and i hope you like the doggerel and i truly shant be posting, or likely commenting much if at all, for a while alas.

dedman the big ole photog
had a bright and shiny lens.
he used it for daily pictures
to delight and amuse his friends. (on smugmug)
now though his health is lousy
in his spirit he's still feeling great!
and hopes soon that he will rousey
he just doesn't know at what date. (maybe january)
perhaps one happy new years day
someone will look and say
"dedman with your lens so bright,
i like what you shot last night!" (it was a burgler!)
then ded will be so happy
you'll prolly hear his shout of glee
for once again there'll be ded's daily
to benefit posterity. (or afflict them)

yes, once again there'll be ded's daily
to benefit pos ter i ty!


thanks for all the well wishes everyone
and to all a good night

SmugMug > popular today > Pearls of light - Dec 9 2009

The sun was playing in the million of drops on the thousands of grass stems... Looked like the field was sprayed with pearls and diamonds.
SmugMug > popular today > 2009 12-09 I managed to do lots of sleeping, and little else today.  My little angel kept us up for most of the night, and my angel of a wife let me sleep for 5 hours this afternoon.  Doesn't make for a very productive day overall though.
SmugMug > popular today > Don't trust ya' as far as I can throw ya'

(Dec. 9, 2009) Another night of testing and another student did well. This is a throw off of a wrist/arm lock technique. Don't be fooled by the braid. The person being thrown is a second degree black belt, a Tai Chi instructor, and tough as nails.
SmugMug > popular today > Cricket....This is for my sister.

It was a very sad day today,especially for my sister,Vicki. Her sweet little Cricket was attacked and killed in their yard this morning by a stray dog. Vicki had Cricket for a very long time and she was her best little friend. Little Cricket had the best life in the world...she was a very pampered little girl. We will all miss you Cricket.

Thank you all so much for the comments on my praying mantis. This was the same one that I had a few weeks back that had a hold on the bee. I think the bee stung him,because there was a struggle for a moment and then the bee flew off and the mantis fell backwards and was just hanging there. Sorry if I don't get to comment on everyone tonight,but its been a long day and a sad one at that...so I think I'm gonna hit the sack. Will catch up with everyone tomorrow.
SmugMug > popular today > A Painted House
Wed. December 9, 2009 (Day 198)

I am almost done with the wall painting... 
All these books should be able to go back to the shelves by tomorrow. 
Well, that's what I hope anyway!

Seaside State Beach, Sand City, CA. Monterey Bay. June 2009.

I was on a field trip with one of my kids at Lover's Point Beach in Pacific Grove. The teacher warned the kids NOT to feed the seagulls, because if they did there would be 1000's of seagulls flying around and someone would be pooped on. I was watching the six kindergartners assigned to me, not letting a crumb fall on the ground... when suddenly a cloud of seagulls darkened the sky and they began swooping down on us. I felt something hit my head and.... ewwww yuck.... I still get a creepy crawly feeling just thinking about it..... not as bad as Dedman's experience, but when I see seagulls flying, I put on a hat.

I have had a crazy, frustrating week. Last night I felt near exhaustion and melt down. Went to bed early. Woke up at 2am.... maybe I can sleep now. I start jury duty today. I have a position paper due for a class, then the  final online lecture, discussion and quiz.... and then the class final to take before Sunday at midnight.... then studying for my German Final on Monday. Sometimes, I feel too old to be a student. Sometimes I feel too old to be raising a 7-year old. I may not have a lot of time to comment here until Monday after 5pm.....

Thank you to those who have commented on my daily lately--even though I have not commented on very many pics.
