after the fire, a good samaritan rescued the only truly priceless object from my desk at organic valley!

day 3229: lounging about with the chickenpox, imagining Super Awesome treehouse designs.
while i fiddle around on the deck, odin lounges about with the chickenpox, swinging in a hammock imagining all the Super Awesome things we might be able to design into The World’s Most Awesome Treehouse(s). maybe a slide ( or water slide?! ) that take a steep dive off the deck and a few twists [...]

the 2012 halloween crew getting ready for some tricking or treating! can you spot odin? oh, o.k. i’ll make it a little easier for you. odin and i were dressed-up as matching, well, i’m not quite sure what we dressed-up as. maybe ringwraiths? i cobbled the costume together a few years ago from this and [...]
