do you want a cookie ...

i am fresh out of bozo buttons
but we do have a new trophy
you might be interested in
more on that later

but first ... the trophy of all trophies
is of course the graham-cooper cup
of college football supremacy

i am sure that i do not need to point this out
to the more astute followers of the chronicles
but the cup has been enhanced

in the spirit of the stanley cup & the borg-warner
the cup is now emblazoned with its own history

and on the next side ...

it does not take an eagle-eyed observer to see
that there are certain teams*
which are under-represented in the winners' column
* not gonna name any names but let's just say
they are from a state that rhymes with flyndiana

but there is no reason to weep
for those who proudly wear old gold or crimson & cream
for a new trophy has entered the scene ...

it is currently in the possession of
the reigning march madness bracket king

but have no fear ...

it is up for grabs again
come memorial day weekend

caution ...

prepare yourself for what you are about to see* ...

it's not in 3d ...

but you still might want to stand back

or extend your arm
[kits today and their texting machines]

* i am truly sorry ...
for the michigan color scheme

beyond a reasonable doubt ...

are you sure it was me ?

could a face this sweet ...

... cause that much trouble ?

vroom - vroom ...

spring is here people
time to get outside
and tune up your ride

haircut ... optional

come on baby ...

it won't happen again
i've just been a little busy ...

... but now i am back !

for my tweeps ...

my florida vacation
in 140 characters-ish
and a few pictures

hello ocean ... my name is maxwell

a guy could get used to this

not sure what happened here ...
they may or may not have named a beach after me

there was a little fishing ...

... and some swinging ...
if you know anybody @ landscape structures inc
this image is available for sale

... and there was some swashbuckling fun !

i hear ya
i probably should not be standing on this chair
but you have to listen to me ...
you have something right here

there is something so calming
about a koi pond

strolls on the boardwalk
are not too bad either

sand ...

... is ...

... fun

sometimes you just want to strut ...

and yes ... "cc" is for crazy cute
and i am not just talking about the pants

... and sometimes all you want to do is
get down on some poolside junk-food

what's that you say ...

... it's snowing in PA right now ?!

our hero walks into the sunset

same time next year ?

ouch ...

so you're saying ...
do NOT run with my sippy cup ?

that is information i could have used
six stitches ago !

but do not cry for me

in the end it was not more than
a hug from mom & dad's keys could cure

well that ... and the six stitches
