Zombies and Space Junk

Wang Chung
Space Junk
From the Wang Chung's Greatest Hits album (1997)
This was the perfect song to end the premier episode of The Walking Dead.  Eerie, ominous, and a fitting entry to this universe.  "Welcome to my world..."

It's not easy to get a photo of Grandpa smiling.  You have to catch him when he's laughing at something.

Fun With Statistics

My statistics course fried my brain a bit, but Dr. Selden got me through it.  She's had this comic on the door of her office since my first day and I smile ever time I see it.

Jan Brett at Wegmans

The Twelve Days Of Christmas
Jan Brett (1986)

Angie and I both worked a shift at Wegman's today.  Her day was a lot more interesting than mine because she was put in charge of managing the shoppers who came to see Jan Brett.  The artist spent a few hours at the store to meet fans, sign autographs, and talk about her newest book, The 3 Little Dassies.  She signed this book for us before she left as a thank you.

The Whiz Kids

1950 Philadelphia Phillies
The Whiz Kids played Game 1 of the World Series 60 years ago today.  It was only the second time in franchise history (dating back to 1883) that the Phillies reached the World Series.  They were swept by the New York Yankees, and they wouldn't return to the Fall Classic for another 30 years.
