Love is ...

Agreeing immediately and unequivocally that "The Humpty Dance" is the greatest song of all time.

Sou-lords

Clyde and Chuy out and about in our Soulard neighborhood. Chuy is sitting on top of a carriage step. Don't let the foreshortening fool you; Chuy's 1/10th the size of Clyde, but 10 times the loco.

Is that a puppet?

No, it's our friend Kate's Cavalier puppy, Harry! Damn, he's cute.

Birthday boy

Here's Quentin, the sort of mascot of the shelter we volunteer at,
at his birthday party. (OK, it was a fund-raiser, too!) Quentin somehow survived the gas chamber at the St. Louis city pound a couple of years ago. The pound still euthanizes, but because of efforts by Stray Rescue's director (and Quentin), it now does so by less barbaric lethal injection.

SUV-ness envy

If we didn't have a year-old Honda Element, we'd be all over the Toyota FJ Cruiser. (In black, of course!) Feck, I love it so much, and it starts at just $21,710.
