We have a script started for a tv show idea - - we’ll see if anything develops there. No Socco story in the works yet, but I bet we come up with something eventually. I should be posting music soon - much started - nothing finished - it should all bloop up soon enough - I switched to apple - am learning Logic - very happy!! Bought a pee wee les paul and am having a blast.
I am learning to animate with flash, too - this is a SLOW process and you shan’t see much anytime soon, I would imagine - slow moving, but fun!
Here’s a shot of a sad Olive releasing her Mantis. She found him in the spring. He was tiny. She kept him in a great big jar and caught him live winged food. She let him go a few weeks ago so he could breed.
With the help of Chris Malvica and my Pop, I’m back on the motherboard. Hopeful to be postfully flourishing soon. It’s been so long since I’ve computed that I can’t remember how any of the programs work!
Chocolately speaking, the kids did very well. Abe will surely eat his candy himself - but our Native Olive will likely find her treaties plundered.

We have gone vegetarian. The only way I could go vegetarian was by cooking Indian food. I’ve been cooking Indian for 10 years or so, but now I do daily. I’m digging it! I’ve actually gained 5 pounds since quitting meat! Today we cooked Tarka Beans, or dal. Come join us, you might like ‘em.
Gramps is in the VA Hospital - he gets released later today (we hope). I have been driving Gramma there and back, day and night (forcing her to go home and sleep). He still has a bullet in his spine from Korea, that they never dared move. Grampa is much like Popeye’s Poopdeck Pappy, full of piss and vinegar. He is 84. A couple years ago, Karie told him he was too old to work on a ladder, and he responded by dropping forward, straight as a board, arms out, into a push up. Go Grampa Go! Olive’s get well art is a pastel - Julian’s is partially roto-scoped ball point pen and crayons.
I spent my days this weekend in the chicken coop, shoveling chicken processed corn (er, poop). I spent my nights shoveling popcorn at the theater, before, during, and after shows of Pirates. I *did* soak in the tub for long periods between these two activities. We sell a lot of popcorn at the theater (Eden, organic popcorn…yay), we also sell a lot of pop (boo), and candy (yum). The pop is made of corn syrup, so is the candy. So to sum it up, this weekend, I spent my time feeding people and chickens (mostly corn), and then cleaning up the disgusting (mostly corn) mess of both. Pirates was a pretty gross movie too…corny even.
Julian (mostly powered by frosted flakes) cranked out a few more books. Here is a quick look at some of his most recent books. Julieography
I did a little multi track recording on Alice Tree, but have nothing very exciting to show you yet. I had a little fun with the video camera and Olive. I love to bug my Olive. Here she is trying to make perogies.
Home Movie - I woke this morning with an idea. Everybody was asleep. I went outside and tried to get a take, but it started to rain. I took to the car, then Karie woke up and needed the car to go to the store for milk. I went in the house where the kids were now up, wound up, and noisey. Finally, I landed in the chicken coop, where I lay quite an egg as the chicken whisperer.
That’s Karie at the end of the clip, coming to tell me she got the milk and the chai is ready…
