If you want a mechanical movement, perhaps one of those would be a better choice...

N.B.: These are only a few models in the ladies' line, there are more ok their website if you want to take a look at them!

Carl....young grasshopper....hear me now, believe me later- you will be owning and running your own high end jewellery and watch boutique someday...and A-Listers will love you!!!
(look at what a fine job you are doing profiling these elegant collections to Lisa! Good practice!)

Wait - even better, don't tell anyone, and just have your own personal Spirit Week. Who knows? You might get a few days off as a result.

my kid's school did cool things like this.....I would have LOVED to see a "Bed Head" day, (maybe attached to Pyjama day), where , upon waking up, you do not lay a finger on your hair...just go as is; if the teachers were good sports, they would participate too!

It's always nice to ride so I'll do all I can before the sand trucks spoil the season.

Awesome Bill, and great attitude- you are truly worthy of that amazing bike!!!

One with a club that comes out and clobbers your hubby in the head when he's in the basement snoozing away.....oblivious to you and the girls and life as a father and partner to you!!!
Take it easy.....Leo

I love it when Canadians come here.

Haha - we could have a Coffeeshop "Bed Head" day. That would be fun! Except maybe not so much for the guys with buzzed cuts. I know you and any of us other curly gurlies can wake up with some pretty wild hair!

I do like them, Carl. The grey dealer in Winter Park has them in stock and I see a lady in Church wearing one. A buddy of mine in London bought a platinum one for his wife, it is her favorite watch out of the many she owns.

I would need a few months to grow in my winter coat.

Hey Bill! Any chance of taking the Valkyrie out for a dec. morning spin?

Sadly no. I need to take Wendy's Xterra to the dealership for its last service under warranty. Hope I don't rot there all day.

(pouting) I have to take my own car in for everything. You're a good man. I'm overdue for an oil change. Um, would you mind terribly....? I'll make peanut brittle.

No. But for fun I just went through my stack. Lots of Rush, Stones and Yes in there. What got me going was seeing a Rush concert on TV last night. We used to go see them in concert many years ago. There was always a pleasure in buying new album and opening them up to look inside at the pics.

I have a daughter returning form college today. I need to take care of some car things for her before she goes back. If I don't who will? And she knows that.

Know what you mean. CD cases just don't have the same appeal.

In fairness to a college age daughter, it's a bit daunting to go to a car repair shop. Even at my age, I get the feeling I'm being treated like I'm stupid about car things. Uh, which I sort of am.

(pouting some more) Dave damaged my previous SUV by hitting the neighbor's brick wall while backing out of the driveway. Guess who had to take the car in for all the bodywork?

Sorry to hear that, Lisa. You should have taken Dave's car and told him he could have the damaged SUV. I just want the baby to learn these things. Daddy won't be around for ever and I don't want her to have to rely on some idiot.

Truly, for all of my whining it's better to be self-reliant, for all kinds of reasons.

Here are a few piccies taken during a recent warm December evening. The girls and I took the Falcon downtown to take in the sights.

Neighbor's houses:





Wow. Big ornament! Vi dressed herself if you wanted an explanation for the sweat pants under the shorts.



Ah, one is not enough!



You should have seen tree this fell from!



The "Crystal Bridge." Botanic gardens are inside.



And, totally unrelated pic.... why Whole Foods is fabulous. Where else can you get six kinds of fingerling potatoes to fry up for breakfast?

[The Joker]

Wow, excellent pics Lisa.

[Lisa]

Thanks, Wes. My 12 year old took most of them. Camera settings were kind of sketchy!

[chicfarmer1]

Wonderful pics, and the ones of Ms. Sweatpants Shorts cracked me up. My daughter dressed herself ludicrously for so, so long, and we just let her go forth. Typical day might be: yellow Italian bike racer's hat, fat stripe Gap kids dress, red sweater, and nicely contrasting tights and ankle socks.

I bet Vi felt nice and cozy.

Thanks, J. And Vi was pleased with herself, too! Anything that makes less work for Mom is okay, you know?

Did you get any pics of your daughter in her outfits? Good memories.
