Sunday 160 – It’s My Party
~ click image to make biggerer ~
The room got quiet as little Nicholas
rose from his seat at table.
He approached the big man.
“Please, Sir.
It is my birthday party today.
Can I have some cake?”
I left for my daughter’s house at noon on Saturday
to help her get ready for Nicholas’ first birthday party today.
He was one on Thursday.
This picture reminded me of Oliver Twist.
Sunday 160 - Tell a story in 160 Characters.

Happy Birthday, Snoogs!
This is my baby.
It's her birthday today.
There has never been a better daughter,
a more fantastic child or
wonderful person
than this little bit of my DNA.
I love you, Snoogs.
You fill my heart to bursting.
My baby and her baby.

Flash 55 – Shopping Is Dangerous
We took a trip through the wild jungles of the World’s Largest General Store in Pennsylvania.
~ click the images to make them biggerer ~
I was attacked by a humongous snake.
With no one to save me (Mommy and Oma were looking at shoes),
I wrestled the beast.
It almost got the best of me but
I got it in the end.
You can tell this story is pure fiction as I don't really like to shop for shoes - books and art supplies - but not shoes.
Comment Comeback
[see yesterday’s comments to follow the train]
Quilly – I got the first line for yesterday’s 13 from Creative Writing Prompts. 346 ideas to spark your writing.
Kiki - Thanks for checking out Creationist Thinking and your lovely comments. I have more sites than one person really needs.
Otin - I love the movie Immortal Beloved, especially the scene at the end where he's floating in the black water that turns into the starry night sky. I think of it often.

Miscellany Monday 20100614
I signed up for Twitterfeed. It tweets my blog posts for me automatically.
Some of you asked about the color of this piece called "Icarus Unbound." It is in black and white. I considered using color and even trying to somehow back light it through glass (as if the sun were shining behind it) then I decided I liked the irony of the contrast and simplicity of black and white in comparison to the blaze of inspiration.
While trying to figure out how to tweet for Quilly’s contest to win a copy of the Chosen Ones, I found a site that will Shorten Your Links. It takes the 40 or so characters from a blog post address and shrinks them to less than ten characters.
I receive a copy of The Writer's Almanac with Garrison Keillor each day in my email. It features a poem a day and bits of history.
I went to the Wizard World Comic Con 2010 in Philadelphia on Saturday with my daughter, my son-in-law, his brother and his girl friend , their brother-in-law and my grandson (did you get all of that?) I took many photos. I’ll be posting some over the next couple of weeks. I always wanted to see a Comic Convention and I am glad I did but I don’t need to go again. The autograph and photograph racket for the “stars” is amazing.
I saw the BP coffee spill YouTube video at Short Attention Span Theatre. Very funny.
Still doing three handwritten journal pages each morning. Up to page 50 in the Happenstance edit. And writing 500 words (before doing any blogging) each day.

Nicholas multi-tasking at the Comic Con – trying to grab mommy’s earrings while learning how to stick his tongue out at daddy.
