for the ladies ...

your valentine's day inspired
word of the day is ... pulchritudinous*

thank you for your attention
and now ...

your reward


* please do not misunderstand me
i am not suggesting that only great-looking people
are deserving of love and affection
though from my experience ...
it sure does make the experience more palatable
oh good grief ... i fear that i may be
digging a deeper hole here
how can i gracefully escape this situation ...

ahhh ... but of course
hey look behind you !

max who ?

is it june yet ...

let's go ...

SPiKES !!!

la tortuga ...

let me start by admitting that i am
pretty new to this method acting stuff ...

but i have invested a lot of time

studying the nuances of my character ...

i consulted and collaborated with my peers

explored motives and emotions ...

and at the end of the day

i am pleased with my performance ...

the turtle ... by maxwell

new tricks ...

he sweeps ...

he rides ...

and drinks with
NO HANDS !

what will i do next ?
stay tuned to find out

like father like son ...

friday night ...

dad and i enjoyed our beverages of choice

saturday morning ...

i showed him how to wear his hat

two questions ...

how big is maxwell ?

so BiG !

how messy is maxwell ?

you be the judge

my kind of place ...

mom and i went to see dad at work today
and i have to say this about the place ...

the alarming lack of balloons
gives me great concern

fortunately the ladies on the 3rd floor
know how to have a good time

they even let me make two selections
from the basket o' fun !

feeling super ...

super conflicted that is

what is the debate at hand, you ask ?
what kind of internal struggle
could a 13-month-old be grappling with ?

i will tell you ...

the proposition i am cogitating
is where to place my nfl allegiance

the green bay packers are a family favorite
they sport a Hawkeye on their roster
and i already have the t-shirt


conversely ... the steelers are the local choice
they have great uniforms [gotta love that black & gold]
and they appear to have the muppet vote

what is a guy to do ?
