I don't think a six month hiatus is out of line.

And to top it off, it's really only an excuse to post a picture in response to his Bobness's query as to garage sales. And Mel's and Wendy's pokes to get back at it. And...well all sorts of stuff.










So I will get back into it soon.

The above picture,btb, is of the Weaselboy lo these many years ago. The sign in front of him says "Not for Sale."



Just a brief mention today about the Girlface. I was having a discussion about the grueling deposition I had to endure on Tuesday when my cell rings.

Cell: This is greerger facazzzzzcmwiiitfrm of the Portland Police.

Me: Hello, who is this?

Cell: This is greerger facazzzzzcmwiiitfrm of the Portland Police.

Me: What?

Cell: This is greerger facazzzzzcmwiiitfrm of the Portland Police. No one is hurt.

Me: Okay, what is this about?

Cell: Is this Stephen Parker?

Me: Yes (close enough for a guy who no doubt has a gun.)

Cell: Your daughter and another young woman are hitchiking.

Me: Yes. Is that illegal?

Cell: Well, no. We have them here on Forest Avenue.

Me: Okay. Were they on the highway?

Cell: No.

Me: Well thank you for looking after them, then.



It's always so nice to get phone calls from the police about your children.



An hour later I got another call.

Cell: Is this Mr. Parker?

Me: Yes.

Cell: This is the Brunswick police.


Sigh. They were only a quarter of the way to Winterport.



Here's a picture of Amina just because.
