Here piggy, here piggy piggy...

This morning when I dropped off D (my third grader) at his classroom with his diorama of the desert gerbil (it was news to me that they lived anywhere but Petco : >), his teacher had already put up her diorama of a javelina. I asked David if he knew what a javelina was. "Sure", he said. "It's a relative of the wild pig."

"Yep," said brian1789, when I told him about this. "As in 'Hava-leana-piece-of bacon...'"

Why the hell I stay married to this man is beyond me : >

New Userpic

I had someone ask about my new userpic. I wrote out the complete explanation, but upon further review it sounded too pretentious even for me (Pat. "Melodrama" Greene here, Overblown Emotional Crises 'R' Us) and so, the short form is: It is titled "Spiritual Self-Portrait." I painted it (black watercolor on paper). Friend Lori scanned it. (If you really, really like it, she has asked permission to turn it into a rubber stamp and sell it, so at some point it will be available for purchase.)
