I spent yesterday at home with the boys. (We all had the day off, but the hubby had to work.) It was a busy day, but I took the time to snap this picture of Parker reading to Dylan, partly because it was just such a cute picture, and partly because it made me hopeful that I’m succeeding at something I wanted to accomplish as a parent.
I was wondering why this post was suddenly getting so many Google search hits.
The Russian prime minister was photographed engaged in a series of adventurous activities including riding a horse bareback and climbing trees in southern Siberia.
In the latest of a series of media stunts Mr Putin was snapped striding through grassy fields wearing ankle high boots, an Indiana Jones style-hat and green fatigues while visiting the remote Russian region of Tuva.
The Russian premier camped out overnight, rafted down the region’s fast flowing rivers and visited a traditional farmstead, according to Russian news agencies.
Mr Putin’s day of activities were described as a “holiday” by state media but was clearly aimed at reinforcing his tough-guy image that plays so well at home.
I guess anytime this guy want to score media points, he strips off his shirt…
Dylan has a case of the “scoots”. So I’m home with him, and not likely to post much today. I’ve got a couple in the works for later.
In the meantime, I thought this captioning contest from McClatchy Newspapers looked like fun.
And along my route, these are the signs.
The term “hamster wheel” has been stuck in my mind all day.
Just one question. How does one get off the crazy thing?
I seem to be coming up with more of these lately…
This pretty much fits my mood right now.
A few of these are my own creations (made with a new toy I’ve found).
Well, no. But the image above was recently named World Press Photo 2008, and the judges framed it in a war context.
I can honestly say, I didn’t know any of these things.
Speaking of bearing grudges, while Wall Street bonuses were up 17% in 2009, nearly 25% of mortgages are “underwater.”
OK. I realize it’s just a statement about proposed legislation another country, but George W. Bush would never have condemned the Uganda anti-gay bill as ‘odious’. Let alone as a prayer breakfast.
This is rich. Sarah Paling wants President Obama to fire White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel for referring to colleagues in a closed-door meeting as “f—ing retarded.” Please, lady. Look Rahm’s an asshole, granted. But when did you renounced the veiled and not-so-thinly-veiled racism so flagrantly on display at your rallies? When you weren’t busy ignoring it or stirring it up? Tell ya what, Sarah. You go first.
How many of those extinct mammals lived in the rainforest?
