Naught on Bald Mountain

My son Jonnie had his hair shaved off the previous weekend, because his hair had grown so little since his birth about 20 months earlier. The hope was that his hair would grow out more thickly. It is indeed coming in better than before, though of course it's still very fine ginger hair.
To make him feel less alone, I also shaved my head bald this Monday. By now it's already begun to grow out--just over 3 days later. Gosh.

Shots of me from 1986/7!

Hi! Does this person ring a bell? I'm delighted to get back in touch with my classmate Betty, who was an exchange student from France during my high school junior year. Hi, Betty!

Note: the caverns pictures are probably Carlsbad Caverns, not Luray Caverns.

I'm now a deviant! Creativity on embarrassing display!


I've finally decided to go for it and put my recent and forthcoming art scrawls, and also possibly creative writing, out for comments and (hopefully) constructive criticism.
I've just begun but if you're on DA you are welcome to stop by and either jeer or cheer.

Nice handle, non?

My daughter Eowyn also has some art I posted yesterday...

Friends, Love, Truth; Judgment, Regret, Restoration.

I wanted to have a link to my blog post from my Tumblr (click the title of this post to go to it). I have erred and I want to make up for it...or if that's not what is wanted, at least I want to avoid erring again. I want to be a better person and especially a better friend. I am trying hard to learn and to be worthy of my amazing friends whom I treasure.
Peace. Be wise if you can, and if you can help me to be wise, please--be kind and help. I'll help you in any way I can.

Busy and frustrating summertime

Working hard this summer! I'm working right now on a couple of textbooks I'm doing with my wife--EFL texts for votech grads who want to go into business. It's rather slow going and it's hard to concentrate. I haven't been sleeping really well for quite a while and the days are full of distractions and interruptions. Also working on a new song, a sort of Electric Company tribute, and another major project for a government grant. Hope I get the grant! It's hard to focus, that's a fact!
This week, Coral's been in Taichung with her cousin and a student from Japan who's visiting the Chen clan there. We only saw her on Wednesday when she was swimming with the girls in Dou Liu. Very tired and bummed. Oh well!
Sorry I haven't been keeping this blog running smoothly for a long time. Will try to do better! However, this is the one blog that's been really running at all, so don't complain too much!

Huggies Contest photos from yesterday

Hi, we did a little contest thing yesterday, similar to last year's crawling contest, with Jonnie. We got 14 complimentary photos, of the Polaroid sort, for participating. One was not very good so here are the others. . . Jonnie did not win, but we had some fun.
