John Ball Park Zoo June 08
We're on vacation and man oh man did we need it. So. We took the kids and a pack of extra girls to the zoo, along with a couple random grandparents for added flavor. Here we are. We had fun. See us? In the pictures? Yeah, the traditional 'group-shot-on-the-statue' was junk. Very disappointing. Surely my mother got a better shot and then did a better job of editing. Anyhoo, here's a link to an on-line album where you can see all of our zoo pictures (and a couple stolen ones from Veeflower). Didn't take too many actually. Typing incomplete sentences again. Must mean I'm in a hurry. Probably cuz I'm trying to stitch together a quick video of zoo highlights. Guess I'll go do that now. Adios.
Kay. I'm back. Did it. Here it is. As you can see, we had us a pleasant afternoon smelling the animals and watching them mate and poop and whatnot. Highlights: spider monkey antics, hair-and-shorts-nibbling goat, and the lovely lovely weather. Lowlights: Brooke's horrific toe injury in the parking lot, the constant arguing over who gets to push the stroller, and the strange swollen nether regions of many of the animals. Overall score: excellent family outing.

I've tried to post this a couple times, but we've been in Greenville for a couple times and my signal there was too weak. So here it is. Enjoy.

my first official thang
So this is it: my first official 'publishing credit'. This is an anthology of science fiction short stories that won the 2006 Illuminations writing contest (I was # 1), and my story is the very first one in the book. They've got a thing on me called an 'author's bio' and everything, so, yeah, it's a tad exciting.
Go to Amazon, order a copy. If you love it, rate it and review it. If you hate it, be sure to let me know so that any small spark of a dream that I have can be ground to ashes beneath the heel of the boot of cruelty that you wear on your leg of superiority.
