Whale songs

This gentleman has been researching whale songs for years. Just like humans, he says whales interact with song riffs. And just like humans, the songs from the 60's were better than those today!

And I'd like one of these for our next party:

Last few days, lot pics, art pics

Busy the past fews days again, as usual here in the Quiet corner of Connecticut.
Went to a alternative rock party last night, still working on designing our house, and managing the MCS estate. To say nothing about regular work!
Only a short while until England! Can't wait. Only sad thing is we will miss the Dick Dale concert where several of our band buddies open for him at Toad's. Oh well.

Here is a shot of our lot:

Katie's latest projects:

And a quick pastel of a flower pot, also from art class

Whatsa CAPU-U?

Enjoyed the day at Connecticut Author and Publisher Society University today!
Found a lot of value, and scribbled notes all day. Even allowing that I'm new to writing, that means I got a lot of material. Did some great networking too.
And after sitting in the Stuff Your Stories seminar, I realized what symbols I was planting in the Kat story! (Lucia knows).
More to come when I get a chance.

Meanwhile, the house design continues. Got some plans from the Home Design place and will have to make some mods after bids. Exciting time for us. Reminds me of when we first got married and could barely get into the bathroom what with all the stuff destined for our new place. George Carlin is right.

Are you a Republican? Take this and see ( I scored 19%): http://paulkienitz.net/republican.html

Finally, this place is really cool! I have ancestors on both sides, but ya gotta love the Confederacy: http://www.moc.org/

NJ move; Dirkon camera; sign language alert

Finally moved all the breakables from the NJ house. May be the last time I see it somewhat furnished as the movers come next week. A creepy feeling.

Here is a cool project: a paper camera. See the link:

I also like the whistle-blower who, via sign language translation, let on that the Ukranian election was rigged:

Excited about CAPA-U this weekend. Finally getting a chance to think and talk and work on writing again!
