Jump

Sometimes when I’m on the roof of my house cleaning out the gutters I’m tempted to jump down rather than take the ladder.
But then I have to remind myself “Dude. You’re in your mid-thirties now..”
Then I jump anyways.
Because 40 is right around the corner.

1.21 Gigawatts!

After a marathon-style summer working hard at (far too many) projects, hosting company, keeping up with an art show and trying to make the most of the few short weeks of sunshine we’ve got I finally started to burn out just a bit.
So I ate a flux capacitor for breakfast and then got myself blasted with a bolt of lightning. a bolt of lightning!
Precisely as I hit 88 miles per hour.

Return of the Fudgies!

Kind of an inside joke for all my NW MI neighbors.
This is the time of year when hungry hordes rise like the undead from the grave known as lower Michigan to swarm our streets.
It’s an eclectic group — some are donned in red hats; others in rat-tails and stars-n-stripes bikinis.
Yet others come via sea-and-wakeboard beefily shouldering cases of MGD with nary a sleeve in sight—they manage to communicate with a series of grunts, palm-slapping and innuendo.
But it’s not brains they crave… it’s homemade fudge.
Only the bravest or most desperate of locals dare leave our bunkers…
On this day I salute you Traverse City citizens who brave the streets crawling with fudge-smothered phantoms in the hopes of seducing them into purchasing a tye-dyed t-shirt… you gotta find some way to feed your babies after all.
Godspeed!

Eglon the Slightly Overweight

Judges chapter three (in the Old Testament) specifically tells us that Eglon, King of Moab was “grossly fat.”
But in verse 20 of the chapter Eglon stands up.
He stands up?
Guess by good ol’ U.S. of A. standards he’d be described as “average” or “a little overweight.”
No “grossly fat” man in this great nation of ours would be able to stand up in the time it took Ehud to snatch the dagger from his right thigh with his left hand and plunge it permanently into Ehud’s belly.

Did this quick illo for my wife’s newsletter. I thought it was funny but sadly true.
In case you ever wondered why MTV never hosted their Spring Break on the northeastern shores of Lake Michigan.

This is the awesomest thing I’ve seen in a while. At least the awesomest thing I’ve seen all day…

Today’s cyber-five goes to old friend Scott Fisk for being the first to recognize Pierce Hawthorne as the source of yesterday’s quote.
Aim for speed-bumps people. They just might take you to such great heights you never imagined existed.

“When you improvise a plan… sometimes you hit a speed bump,
and sometimes you hit it so hard that you soar through the air, far beyond your initial expectations.”
First person to guess who said this gets a cyber-five!
They Fit!
